Has anyone heard of this? I can't see what one has to do with the
other.

Frankly it is a good idea, but I had not heard that it was code.


Why is it a good idea?

I should note that this is just for a modem, not an actual phone
(although I don't think that came up in the conversation).

Try to think ahead. You are doing the work, now so think about what
might be needed next year or next month. Someone rearranges the furniture
and now wants to use a cordless phone that needs to be pluged in at that
location.
