In Connecticut for example you need to either be a phone/cable company employee or have any of several classes of electrician's license, all of which require thousands of hours of documented experience, to do network cabling--it's a ludicrous requirement as the people with the licences generally do about as good a job as a drunken chimpanzee, but it's the law. Also the local codes need to be checked. One fellow of my acquaintance had to redo a major cabling job because he didn't use the one brand of cable that was authorized in a county in which the manufacturer of said cable was the major employer. > Good luck!
