Actually, that's not entirely true.  In my current house, I had them
run cat 5 everywhere they ran a telephone line.  I also told my 
builder I would put in the phone/ethernet jacks after I moved in.
My house passed inspection no problem.  I think, though, that if
you were talking about electrical outlets, you would be correct.
(Also, it probably varies by jurisdiction..)
