Home Fibre Plans Survive Downturn

The latest figures on superfast broadband delivered by fibre to the home (FTFH) shows 18% growth over the last survey compiled in late 2008.
The continued growth suggests that the global economic downturn has not hit plans to build a fibre infrastructure.
Sweden tops the list of nations roiling out the technology, with 10.9% of its broadband customers using fibre.
Karel Helsen, president of Europe’s Fibre -To- The- Home Council, said the growth matched predictions that were revised when the credit crunch started to make itself felt.
By 2012. the FTTH Council expects that 13 million people across 35 European nations will have their broadband delivered by fibre. Such services would start at speeds of 100 megabits per second (mbps) , said Mr. Helsen.
Around Europe more than 233 projects were underway to lay the fibre that would connect homes or buildings to the net, said Mr. Helsen.
