Interesting read , In this part of the world the regulation regarding cable installs is very stringent and as one licensed to do such things is a constant source of amusement for me , just because you have an amateur license does not mean you have to install like one :) I know of commercial installers getting fined these days who complain "we have been doing it this way for years"
