Beyond all of the previous suggestions, you might even consider a nice conduit / pull-box run for a few central spots: media center, office, wiring closet.

This is the best solution, no one knows what will be available in 10 years. If the house will have attic access over most of the rooms, run a plastic conduit from your in wall boxes up through the top wall plate leaving enough in the attic to extend above any insulation. Cat, fiber, coax, speaker wire can be easily added or removed as needed. Doing it yourself should only cost about 3 bucks per wall drop, 1 1/2 inch PVC will be fine.

I’ll add to that conduit/PVC under width of driveway. May never use it, may end up coming in very handy.

Just make sure you add location to your plans.
