The Fiber To The Home Council, a group of companies with an obvious interest in seeing a serious ramp-up in FTTH deployments, has released their list (http://www.ftthcouncil.org/?t=282) of the top FTTH markets worldwide. The list, which ranks the economies with the highest penetration of FTTH deployments, puts the United States eighth at 2.3% (obviously the majority of that deployment coming from Verizon). Asia-Pac of course continues to be the fastest growing region for FTTH deployment in the world.The updated ranking shows that Asian economies continue to outpace the rest of the world in terms of FTTH market penetration, with South Korea moving into the top slot with 31.4 percent of households connected, followed by Hong Kong at 23.4 percent and Japan at 21.3%. A large gap separates third place Japan from fourth place Sweden, where 7.1 percent of homes are wired with FTTH, followed closely by Taiwan at 6.8 percent and Norway at 6 percent. Denmark, at 2.5 percent occupies seventh position on the chart.
The majority of growth came from the U.S., China and Japan, who in total connected 6 millions homes to FTTH in 2007.
