said by robbin:As I stated earlier, any utility such as Telcos and cable companies are not covered by OTARD. What they do just does not apply to this discussion.
I'll tackle this one first.
I never suggested OTARD applies to telephone or TV cable installs.
My examples of telephone company and cable company installs (including outdoor electrical work, water and gas plumbing) is to demonstrate there is no clear and present damage caused by penetrating an exterior wall.
I'll repeat that...there is no clear and present damage caused by penetrating an exterior wall (when properly done using best practices).
If indeed that could be used as a valid excuse by property owners, why has that excuse never been presented to the FCC?
