In TELECOM Digest, V10, No. 693, Roger Clark refers to new FCC
regulations concerning inside wirng rules and, in particular, refers
to "the point of demarcation" between the telco's wiring and the
subscriber's wiring.

Does the FCC require that there be such a point of demarcation?  I
live in GTE country and neither I, nor my neighbors, have such a
point.  Does this point (which I assume is a modular jack and plug)
have to be accessible without entering the subscriber's premises, or
at least without passing through a locked gate or door?
