You are correct. Typically the electricians are determining where our NID is going, as they determine where the inside wiring comes out, and if we are lucky, a ground wire as well.

I'd like to step back and welcome you to the forum, ffej010. It's nice for us to have participation from members who work on the telco side of this industry. I think we can all benefit by being able to share in how things work from opposite sides of the fence. Please feel free to chat with us often, as none of us can ever gain too much knowledge and experience.

Well, if he provides a ground wire for you (and it actually gets back to ground) then I would say it's not your problem anymore. Any code problems are his.
And yeah, welcome!

Code problems, definitely. They will be the sparkie's responsibility for sure.
The problem here is that as a regulated utility, it is this telco's responsibility to perform these installations in accordance with NEC plus RUS (formerly REA) specifications. I say this under the assumption that the independent telco involved is an RUS member, which nearly all are.
With very few exceptions, no independent telcos follow Bell specifications, so RUS is about the closest form of uniform compliance that exists.

Thanks for the kind words. I stumbled upon this site by chance, and am finding it to be very informative and helpful on a variety of topics. I usually don't like to take my work "home" with me, but I do find myself checking this site out frequently when I have spare time! Keep up the good work! And to Bill........GO BIG RED!
