Not typically. The requirement to directly bond to a ground rod can be hard/expensive to meet (because said ground rod is nowhere close to the cable entry to the building).

You generally need to bond to the intersystem bonding terminal, which is required to already exist (per modern code) or is easy to install (older buildings), and you can run a wire to make that connection. But, as I mentioned, if you use UTP cable, there’s nothing to bond, although you might still want to install a surge protector. And fiber with a metallic armor layer needs to be interrupted or bonded — see NEC 770.
