Europe making progress on
FTTH penetration – 2/19/2016
The FTTH Council Europe and its research
partner IDATE revealed at the council’s annual FTTH Conference in
Luxembourg that the number of fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to
the building (FTTB) subscribers in Europe increased by 19% over the
first nine months of 2015
There were more the 35.9 million FTTH/B
subscribers in Europe at the end of September 2015.
Russia boasts by far the largest number of
FTTH/B subscribers, with more than 15 million
Spain has 2.6 million and France has 2.4 million
subscribers
The year 2015 has seen continued structural
growth in fiber rollout throughout Europe.

High Speed Fiber Optic undersea cable will connect Japan and the U.K. and also bring broadband to remote Artic communities.
At 24 terabits per second it will take just 154 milliseconds to connect between Japan and the United Kingdom. It is faster by 24 milliseconds than today's speediest digital connection. That does not seem like much but companies are eager to spend the 850 million price tag for the approximately 15,600 kilometer cable.

In 1999, it was reported that an estimated $14.6 billion was spent on fiber optics items. These tremendous figures were greatly attributed to the growing trend of the Internet. But today, more and more companies are using fiber optics for other purposes as well - not just for the Web.
The total global value for the fiber optic connector (FOC) market in 2010 is an estimated $1.9 billion. In 2011, global value is projected to increase to more than $1.9 billion, as the global economy begins to improve. By 2016, given a compound annual growth rate of 9.6%, total global value for the FOC market is projected to be nearly $3.1 billion.
Some types of companies that use fiber optics today include computer offices, telemarketing networks, manufacturing plants, Internet broadband companies, online video providers, Ethernet users, medical offices, hospitals, financial institutions, communications companies, and many others.
A popular trend in the Internet market today is online video. Google's YouTube and other similar services are taking the Internet by storm, and fiber optics is expected to play a big part in online video. Fiber optics will provide better, clearer pictures and will also expand the Internet's bandwidth capabilities.
The Internet today contains much more data than it did just a few years ago. More companies and individuals are using the Internet. More people have Internet in their homes than ever before. And, more people are downloading entire movies, which take up a lot of bandwidth. So, the need for bandwidth to handle all this data and activity is tremendous.
Cable modems are working great right now, but may not be able to keep up. Fiber optics may be the key to unlock the Internet's full potential.
More and more people are training in fiber optics to become engineers, installers, and network managers so a dose of healthy competition will likely bring fiber optic design and installation prices down.
The problem with signal loss will also be minimized as fiber optic technology improves. Corning Incorporated, a major provider of fiber optics products, recently announced a new design that enables bending around very tight corners with virtually no signal loss. This new technology is called nanoStructures (TM) and will likely make fiber optics much more appealing to cable, Internet, and communications companies. The technology is also compliant with industry standards and can be installed using the same procedures as other fiber optics networks.
With new technologies such as nanoStructures, fiber optics can be used to deliver services to high-rise apartments and homes across the nation. Customers will be able to enjoy faster Internet, better quality content, and more interactive features than ever before.
