ABU DHABI, 6th April, 2025 (WAM) -- The United Arab Emirates has set a new global record in fibre-to-the-home network coverage, reaching 99. 5 percent, maintaining its position as the top-ranked country in the world since 2016, according to the annual report issued by the FTTH. There are now nine developed countries in which more than half of fixed internet users are connected by fiber, according to research from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development — but the U. ranked 28th on that metric among 37 countries. This report provides an analysis of Omdia's Fiber Development Index (FDI). The FDI quantifies and ranks the level of investment in fiber optical networks across nine metrics on a country-level basis. This analysis helps industry stakeholders, including policymakers, regulators, service providers. The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe.
