The outlet can be added by either.  Most of the time, it is added by the
CHSI tech, unless a wall fish is required, in which case the outlet is added
by a tech (contractor in Omaha) to fish the wire, and a broadband tech does
the install.

Actually, there is exception if there is a flush mount meter, and no way to
ground inside if the interior is finished.  However, you can ground to a
piece of conduit if it is proven as grounded.  It that doens't work, there
is cold water, though cold water is often not a good enough ground.  And
there is always a ground rod, 5/8" x 8' into the ground.  However, there are
more specifics to all of these, as mandated by FCC regulations and the
National Electric Code.

Actually, I am having a problem with my Windows XP not agreeing with my
motherboard chipset and my Promise 100.  Therefore, I can only access when I
have the time to tinker with it.
