Hi Carlos,
I realize why it's done. I merely point out that there are common
configurations in which the having the FTTH NID power the POTS
circuitry and drop the Internet circuitry is exactly the opposite of
correct. Where instead of preserving access to emergency responders,
it is intentionally designed to cut that access.
