Article 206 Non-Power-Limited Remote-Control and Signaling Circuits​



Article 210 Branch Circuits​



Article 215 Feeders​



Article 225 Outside Branch Circuits and Feeders​



Article 230 Services​



Article 240 Overcurrent Protection​



Article 242 Overvoltage Protection​



Article 245 Overcurrent Protection for Systems Rated Over 1000 Volts ac, 1500 Volts dc, Nominal​



Article 250 Grounding and Bonding​



Article 265 Branch Circuits Over 1000 Volts ac, 1500 Volts dc, Nominal​

Lots of changes indeed, especially low voltage, looks like after 70 years the whats left of the phone company lost their exemption, article 800 is now just like any other article if I am reading the revisions of 90.3 right. I think it was in 1947 Ma Bell lobbied for that special treatment.
And Article 800 covers the requirements for all communications system wires and cables located outside of and entering
buildings.
