For a long period of time I often wondered why some ECs did not install tele/data, cable TV, and other low voltage wiring.
Because they are being honest, many do not know how. Unfortunately most of the ones that do do the work only think they know how or just throw something in for the money.
Just because your license says you can and your supply house sells the material doesn't make you qualified. You need training and experience.
Should we( electricians) be the ones to push regulations under the code. Does that means more standards, safety, work?
What you don't understand is that these are separate trades and they aren't part of an EC's scope of work. So your statement that they are inseparable is not quite true. The electrical trade would like to control them but the current position of the construction industry has been to make LV a separate entity from electrical as shown by it's own division in the master format.
