SECTION 165:55-13-40. Location of demarcation points and network interfaces

(a)   Simple residence and business locations. The normal demarcation point for simple residence and business locations will be the network interface. The network interface normally will be located on the exterior of a building, or inside the building if the interface device can not be provided on the exterior of the building.

(b)   Other buildings. The normal demarcation point for regulated services offered by any telecommunications service provider in buildings commenced after June 30, 1992, will be at or near the point of minimum penetration. The point of minimum penetration is the location where the telecommunications service provider's regulated facilities enter the building, subject to an agreement to the contrary. The actual demarcation point in new buildings shall be located as close to the point of minimum penetration as appropriate environmental protection and space requirements allow. The telecommunications service provider will normally terminate its regulated services by placing an FCC approved network interface at the demarcation point.

(c)   Campuses. The normal demarcation point for regulated services offered by telecommunications service providers in campuses commenced after June 30, 1992, will be in one of the buildings on the campus at or near the point of minimum penetration. The point of minimum penetration is the location where the telecommunications service provider's regulated facilities enter the building. The actual demarcation point in the building shall be located as close to the point of minimum penetration as appropriate environmental protection and space requirements allow. Telecommunications service providers will normally terminate their regulated services by placing an FCC-approved network interface at the demarcation point.

(d)   Apartment building. The demarcation point for residential service in residential apartment buildings or high-rise apartment buildings may be placed at each individual living unit or at a central location within each building if adequate security is available.

(e)   Other demarcation points. The point(s) of demarcation may be at a location(s) different than set forth in this Section if mutually agreed between the end-user and the telecommunications service provider.
