Here the phone companies own the wires from their main service buiding all
the way to where they enter your building. Any wire inside your building
is now your responisibility to maintain. They will of course repair your
wiringing for you, for a price, or you can do it yourself, or hire an
outside contracter to do it for you. This came from the break up of AT&T
and the Bell Telephone monopoly.
