Arthur D. Little's Global FTTH/B Study - 2020 Update shows that the race to gigabit fiber is stronger than ever.

Incumbents are predominantly responsible for the deployments, but open access fiber initiatives have the potential to boost coverage in lagging markets. Migration to a fiber infrastructure is causing incumbents to decide the fate of legacy copper networks, with a growing number of markets planning, underway, or已完成 copper switch off.
