To run data or phone wire requires a low-voltage installers license which is a subset of the electrical license. That also applies to fiber.<br><br>The electrical installers pushed that onto the code around 1990 in Ga. They were grandfathered in and thus got the license "by default". The license requires a test and a letter of recommendation from a licensed installer that you have worked for a minimum of 12 months. So even if you were installing data/phone cable only prior to the license-required date, unless you were a licensed electrician company you were squeezed out as no existing company would write the letter unless you worked for them. They all suddenly required an apprentice process that was 2-3 years long before they would put you in the position that would let you get the recommendation.<br>
