I would have thought mandatory shareable ducting would be the way to go.

Cheap on new builds. No need to predict the technology of tomorrow. Just
stuff the wires/fibres through when required.

Effectively that's what was (is) proposed.

The remit of the Building Regulations is for the health, safety and
welfare of people in and around buildings. The provision of ducting
for communication cables seems to be going way beyond the definition
of 'welfare'. It's the kind of thing that should be left to market
forces.
