Current building TR Room and building data drops are non-compliant. We are not addressing any of that based on customer’s budget. I have addressed this policy with my manager and am trying to determine if, in non-compliant areas should we install new drops/equipment or insist customers pay for remediation. There are many locations this applies to that have not been remediated .
