John,
I can see on new construction, the service entrance is in before the Telco equipment.
I can also see on a service replacement, if the EC disconnects the Telco ground he should be required to hook it back up.
However in this instance, the telco service was on the opposite side of the house and it NEVER was hooked into the electrical system, and it was like that for maybe 15-25 years. Now would the EC be required to hook up a grounding wire from the service to the Telco equipment? Should the AHJ fail the EC for not hooking it up?
