So, everyone’s agreed: broadband operators will eventually replace their decades-old copper networks with superfast fibre all the way to the home. That, at least was the consensus of some speakers on stage at last week’s fibre-to-the-x (FTTx) and Next-Generation Access (NGA) Summit in Berlin, Germany.

Uruguay’s state-owned telecoms operator Antel is aiming to connect 80,000 homes with Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) by the end of this year, according to BNamericas, quoting the telco’s convergence services manager Humberto Roca

National incumbent operators such as BT and Deutsche Telekom have been caught on the back foot by cable carriers and their bundled offerings, with analysts expecting a mass deployment of fibre in a bid to avoid large scale subscriber loss.
The number of US households with direct high speed fibre internet connections has surpassed the 2 million mark, according to a study released this week by the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
