Sure, they're probably not going to lay any actual cable, but there's a lot of infrastructure needed to bring the cable from the head-end to the exterior wall of your house and some of that can be laid in advance.
Ideally, if you're building a new housing development, you can relatively inexpensively put in:
* Ducts to carry the cables under streets and driveways.
* Pavement cabinets for junction boxes, distribution equipment, and optical splitters.
This becomes much more expensive if you have to dig up the streets later.
- sidewndr46 4y agoThis seems like it has less to do with homes and more to do with public infrastructure.
- komadori 4y agoSome of it will lie within the bounds of individual houses, but, yes, a lot relates to the streets. However, in the UK, aside from smaller infill projects, property developers will construct both the houses and the streets together. The streets will then either remain private roads or be adopted into public ownership by the local authority. So, from the perspective of the property developers these rules address, there is little difference between the two.
