The FTTH Council Europe invites you to join the FTTH Investors Day on 2 October 2013 in Brussels.
Europe needs to make large network investments to create future-proof broadband networks. The Digital Single Market proposal seems not to offer solutions for this burning issue.
Speakers: - Anna Krzyzanowska, Head of Unit, European Commission - Benoît Felten, CEO, Diffraction Analysis - Tadas Jonusas, Director Investment Development Department, INVEST LITHUANIA - Michael Bishop, Equities Analyst, Barclays Capital - Gabrielle Gauthey, Executive Vice-President Public Affairs, Alcatel-Lucent - John Strand, Consultant, Strand Consult
Join the discussion with experts and hear their opinion about the key questions: Is there a business case that works for FTTH networks? Where will the finance come from? What needs to be done of to facilitate capital inflows to build the sector? How is Europe positioned? Does the Digital Single Market move Europe in the right direction?
Topics will include:
- A discussion why FTTH is necessary to keep Europe competitive on a global scale - Enabling an industry structure that can attract and absorb finance - How fibre networks can be financed (even in rural areas) - What role for policy makers - The changing role of investors, banks, and operators in FTTH investment projects - The risks for operators of choosing the wrong broadband solutions today

Attendance is free of charge.
