To be fair it's a lot less cumbersome to do yourself than a full on electrical installation. Most diy shops will sell baseboards with precut pockets for cable routing. For any reasonably hands on technical person it's a 1 or 2 day job ripping baseboards and installing new ones with CAT6 cabling behind. Of course it's definitely the sort of thing you can only get away with if you own the house.
