Thanks, my guess is that they would be willing to forgo licensing if they felt there was adequate insurance coverage for accident/liability. I'm prettty sure that there's no legal/regulatory/building code requirement for licensed personnel for this type of low-voltage wiring. - S.

If they are insisting on licensed workers you can pretty much forget
it. Professional licensing is pretty much always done by groups that
are run by people who are already in the profession, and the main
purpose of licensing is to keep competition out. Hate to be so cynical
but that's the way it goes.

There's a small, talented group of IT professionals in the Boston area who
are volunteering to help repair, enhance, and maintain a wireless network
serving residents of a low-income housing development... the work includes
replacing some Ethernet cable and wireless access points in the center of a
wide, flat roof.

The obstacle is that the property management need any such work to be
performed by licensed, bonded personnel. I wonder if any of you know how
much it would cost to insure one or more people to perform that kind of
activity... if, say, an existing nonprofit were to act as an umbrella for
these and related ongoing volunteer activities, how much might it cost them
in insurance?

Thanks,
