New York Telephone says it owns the wiring in my house.  I charges me
a rental of about $2.50 along with a fee of about 1.50 for fixing
my lines if something is wrong.

What would they do if I said that I did not want their wiring in my
house?  Would they cut their wiring, so as to make it unusable?  Has
anybody gotten rid of the telephone company's charge without too much
trouble in rewiring?
