The ETSI White Paper emphasizes that the transition to a gigabit world is now critical, advocating for a shift from traditional broadband to an F5G vision of FTTE (Fibre to Everything). It highlights that fibre offers superior benefits over other technologies and calls for the development of an FDI (Fibre Development Index) to monitor global FTTE progress. The document stresses that strong national broadband policies are essential for this development and recommends that emerging markets bypass legacy systems to adopt fibre directly.
