yes, that is correct. Hippa is about securing data in the LAN from outside world, and when its secured on the subscriber's side of the Demarc, the broadband in the middle is not relevent and has no requirement for compliance.
However, I mentioned it because.... You need to provide them service in a way that enables them to use a Lan security device. For example, a IPSEC device may be compatible with a static IP service, but maybe not with a randomly dynamiclly assigned IP. Or maybe a HotSpot type provisioning would not be adequate if it were incompatible with the client side security devices. You may also find that your specific town or county may have certain standards on what secuirty/encryption platforms are used, and some times it can be multiple levels deep. Therefore needing tp know that the solutions will all work togeather.
