I'm about 6 months away from breaking ground on a new single family residence. I'm a little concerned about wiring the home so it is easily updated with new wiring/cables with new technologies that are soon to be provided. For example, verizon is starting to offer fiber-optic service around the USA for phone/internet/televison. I'm in verizon's service area and want to make sure that the home has all of the wiring in place so the walls do not need to be opened up to install the new wiring. Since the current "norm" is cat5 & rg6 I'm trying to firgure out if there is a smart solution which would allow me to build the home and be able to install the new fiber-optic wiring when the service becomes available (if ever?) with out opening up the walls? I would plan on the fiber-optic lines to have outlets where ever there is a cat5 or rg6 outlet. I think that running conduit for each and every outlet would be expensive and take up too much space. Thanks
