Let me preface with: When I had my own house built (wired by me)in 1995, I installed cat5 /cable and fiber to all locations (Dang, she has it now!!!). Also, from my 1st house I wired (1983)it was good practice to put in phone and cable rec.All billable and greatly appreciated.

Now, It is still good standard practice (maybe not fiber,but it should be).I still don't get the safety factor of it. 911 and all. My current home, wired yes. Phone utility NO (outside not in use). I don't think I'm alone. In this wireless world (wich has more wires than I've ever seen before)I don't think it should be mandated.I feel this is only helping beldon cable and the like. How long before they spec out the cables we may use?
I still firmly feel this is a MFGR tool to get their products out there.
Respectfully to all Leland.

"It requires cabling from the communications outlet to the "demarcation point". That point does not exist unless you have contracted with a communications utility to provide service to the dwelling unit."
