That's correct. It does not apply to central offices. I believe in most cases the local authorities do not have jurisdiction over public utilities. Wiring practices in central offices follow NEBS standards which address special needs like EMC, grounding, DC power distribution, etc. However NFPA 70 is included as a reference in NEBS standards, and code practices are generally followed as a minimum, so you should not think in terms of requirements you don't have to meet, rather in terms of additional more stringent requirements.
