All addresses must have either a communications closet, or a communications room. This will allow for all LAN (LAN) ports being cat-7+ RJ45 connections, and run to a patch panel. From the panel, the connections will go to the switch, and then either a network server, or router. WAN is going to be either RJ45, Coaxial (if fiber is not an option), or DSL (if coaxial nor fiber is an option). In the instance a modem is needed (coaxial and DSL), the ISP must provide for a modem at no cost. The modem must have a minimum of 1 RJ45 LAN connection, and one WAN connection for internet connectivity.
Any new construction or renovation, there will be no telephone, nor coaxial connections. All of these will be replaced with RJ45 as the standard for communications. As needed, there will be a different WAN connection which will be in the communications closet. Any telephone that is using a telephone jack will require an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) for connectivity to the LAN, and therefore the Internet. Any RJ45 connection that will be used for a device that requires POE (Such as in ceiling access points) must have a yellow jack at both ends of the line.
In apartment units, and houses with 1+ floors must have an access point installed into the ceiling of each floor the unit has. This access point must be located towards the center of the residence, and use POE for power. In commercial settings, the access points must be placed in a manner to provide good coverage throughout the entire premise. All routers must support Wifi access points, and provide for a minimum of SSIDs. In a rental, the owner is required to provide the switch, but the tenant must provide for the router, and any extra functionality. All living rooms, and bedrooms must have at least 2 RJ45 connections per wall. This will allow for the resident to plug in places that makes sense to them.
Internet
In any area where there is fiber optic, that connection must enter the premise as an RJ45 connection. This is to eliminate the need for a modem. If Coaxial is the best option, then the provider must provide the consumer with the router on a free lease basis. Since the modem might be locked away in a corner of the basement, the modem should just be a modem. Once fiber optic becomes available, the coaxial connection must be replaced with RJ45, and coaxial will be depreciated. If DSL is the only option, the provider must provide for the modem. Like with cable internet, the provider can provide for just a modem, and no router capabilities, and this must be on a free lease of the device. Once fiber optic is available, then the DSL line will be replaced with a RJ45 fiber line.
Telephone
Any POTS telephones will require an ATA for connection to the telephone network. All new phones must be SIP compatible. This means no new POTS phones will be sold. This could be in the fashion of a desk phone which will plug into the RJ45 port, and will likely need an POE connection. With that set, the tenant will look at the jack number and connect that from the patch panel to the appropriate port on the network switch. With Wifi phones, the SIP credentials will be entered into the phone, and will use Wifi for telephony.
Television
Any premise up to standards will not have a coaxial jack. All television will be terrestrial, and with that, the television provider must provide a means of connecting to the television system. This could be a set top box that the television will plug into the set top box either by coaxial or HDMI. The set top box will the plug into an RJ45 LAN port for connectivity to the television network. This set top box must be affordable. If the consumer has a smart TV, then there must be an app that the consumer can download and setup for their account.
