Having wired systems into existing homes with four or more levels I
disagree.  Conduit is a plus on multi-story runs but it's not an absolute
must.  If you do opt for conduit, make certain you provide pulling elbows,
junction boxes or LB's at least every 180º of bends -- 90º if the runs are
long.  Also, do NOT fill the conduit with more than a 40% cross-section with
copper.  There are conduit fill charts available online at several cable
manufacturers' websites, as well as in the NEC manual.
