The whole company and everything we do is not covered. That is
how I read it.
Not covered:
*Informational Note to (4) and (5): Examples of utilities may
include those entities that are typically designated or
recognized by governmental law or regulation by public
service/utility commissions and that install, operate, and
maintain electric supply (such as generation, transmission, or
distribution systems) or communications systems (such as
telephone, CATV,*
*_Internet, satellite, or data services_). *

Doesn't the note only apply to this exemption:
"(4) Installations of communications equipment under the
exclusive control of communications utilities located outdoors
or in building spaces used exclusively for such installations."
So your CO or NOC would be fine. Probably a phone room as well.
Same with pedestals, outdoor cabinents, and I'd argue the ONT on
the outside of a building.
Hanging an indoor ONT/NID in someone's garage wouldn't be "in
building spaces used exclusively for such installations".
Neither would an installation in an office space, etc....

The way I read this, an outdoor ONT is exempt. .. an indoor
one would not be?
