defining the demarcation point to: (1) Clarify the location, within
12 inches at the point at which it enters the customers premises;

wiring within a tenant's individual unit; and (4) require telephone
companies to provide building owners with all available information
regarding carrier-installed wiring on the customer's side of the
demarcation point.
