Let's see... You might want

Telephone, intercom, burglar alarms, fire alams, panic buttons, CCTV
security cam cables, cable TV, satellite TV, antena cables, door
strike controls, doorbell, computer (cat 6 + router placement), stereo
distribution (line level + spkr cables), annuciator circuits (for the
butler & other servants), & emergency genset control cables....

Plus... I'd run some general purpose fiber-optic cable for who knows
what in the next 20 years...
