said by tmc8080:Not properly installing a cable is not just lazy, but ultimately could result in a safety & legal liability problem. I find that the big carriers fighting this regulation quite disturbing.. particularly from Verizon. Why would they want to risk having to do a re-deployment truck roll which would end up costing them MORE than to do the job right in the first place? Are these companies scared someone might sabotage the deployed infrastructure just to see these companies face fines? (hahaha)
Actually most cable cos will require some form of drop bury form which clearly states the cable on the ground is not cable co's liability and the customer is responsible for it. My company does it and if you don't sign you get no cable.
