The FCC says that it is the responsibilty of the LEC, and we know that to be the case because???...let's not always see the same hands, class...it is a REGISTERED JACK and by definition it is ordered from, and installed by, the LEC, and becomes the first point to which a customer is allowed to connect. The end user or his agent (meaning us) is not allowed to terminate exchange service (the CO side) on a registered jack, or even, if you strictly read the tariffs, do any work on the CO side of one.
