FCGA – FTTH Council Global Alliance
|
|
The FTTH Council Global Alliance (FCGA) is the platform for cooperation of the five global FTTH Councils. All FTTH Councils share a common goal: the acceleration of the fiber to the home adoption. They all act as powerful and independent organizations in their specific market. This regional focus gives the FTTH Councils a special strength to adapt their activities to the particular market in their area.
The FTTH Council Global Alliance ensures that those regional efforts are combined with the power of global cooperation. Within the FCGA the FTTH Councils exchange studies, information and latest market developments. Joint projects like the - Light Age Magazine - allow global activities and intercontinental networking.
