ᐅ Conduits for Satellite and Telecommunications: Mandatory or Not in New Construction?

Hello,
I am unsure whether it is mandatory for the builder (prefabricated house) to install SAT and telecommunications cables (future-proof) in empty conduits or not.
Or does this requirement only apply from the handover point to the first main distribution point within the house (DSL modem, SAT multiswitch, etc.) and not to the individual outlets?

I found DIN 18015, but how should it be interpreted?

I would also just talk to the electrician in a friendly way; for a few euros, he will probably install empty conduits for you.

If you are right, you can insist on it, but then he will probably install the conduits in a way that nothing can be pulled through them later... I would bet on that.

If the wiring is or will be done by yourself later, since only the conduit pipes and boxes need to be provided, I would talk to the construction company and try to lay the cables yourself (in parallel with the electrician). You won’t have easier access to the conduits once they are installed with a cable pulled through.
