Europe in slow lane over fast internet - Ian Murphy
Europe is a long way behind the US and Asia on projects to roll out Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), according to the former chief executive of chipmaker Giga. Finn Helmer, now chairman of Danish broadband company Comx Networks outlined what needed to be done in order that Europe can compete with Asia and the US. Speaking at the fourth annual Fiber to the Home Council Europe Conference in Barcelona, he said that "Asia has discovered FTTH and is racing ahead. The US is now discovering it, but Europe is a long way behind."
He said that cost has long been seen as the reason why copper had failed to be replaced by fiber but Helmer believes that this is a false economy.
