" The builder/owner is responsible for construction between the ROW/property line and the building." and to the ISP, that's the most expensive part of the equation. It should would be nice to not be financially responsible for that. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Donelan" <sean@donelan.com> To: "NANOG list" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2024 4:36:36 PM Subject: Re[2]: New home builders without wires On Fri, 27 Dec 2024, Aaron Wendel wrote:
When I built my house a few years ago I put a 0 entry hand hole with 2" conduit in the ROW in front and pulled 96 SM into the basement. It takes a little convincing to get the providers to connect out there instead of running their own lines into my house but so far so good.
Things I learned. In USA, the provider DEMARC used to be at the building wall (i.e. 12-inches minimum point of entry inside the building). Fiber providers sometimes install the ONT inside the wiring structured infrastructure cabinet instead on the building outside wall now. In many other countries, the DEMARC is at the ROW/property line. Comparing broadband techniques between countries. The builder/owner is responsible for construction between the ROW/property line and the building. But if the neighborhood builder/developer has no broadband providers (coax, telco or fiber) in the ROW, it doesn't matter. In OECD broadband statistics, USA ranks 15th out of 36 countries. France and South Korea are #1 and #2.
