By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt

By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt

We've all heard how better broadband will support lots of eco-friendly greenhouse gas reducing activities like telemedicine and teleworking, but the FTTH Council Europe has gone one better and attempted to balance the gains of these activities against the environmental impact of laying and operating FTTH networks. Not surprisingly, it's all good news.
