Re: Muni fiber: L1 or L2?

I think the ILECs got this part right: provide a passive NIU on the
outside wall, which forms a natural demarc that the fiber owner can test
to. If an L2 operator has active equipment, put it inside--and it would
be part of the customer-purchased (or -leased) equipment when they turn
up service.

Yes, but that means the ISP has to drill holes in walls *and push fiber 
jumpers through them*; I'm not at all happy with that idea.

Why not? Someone will have to.
