Please log in for more thread options Only in America.... just left a meeting with a large university that we are loosely associated with. We have been on their network (full internet access) and we are now putting in our own routers, swithes, and our own ISP but we are still in their buildings (paying rent). We used to pay a jack charge for each device we had pluggged in, it was a very heffty amount. Now that we are putting our own stuff in they still want to charge us a monthly cable fee fro each device. ?? Does anyone pay to use a dark wall jack into a dark closet ?? Let me hear your comments, please - I need your feedback! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Well, I'd say it's part of building infrastructure, and yours to use as part of your rent. If it's dark, it's not a service. However, if they want to be difficult, you can be difficult right back: Tell them you're going wireless, you won't want their wire, and they'd better remove it to meet the new NEC. -- Robert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
