Not So Green

We are moving soon. In our current office, we probably have miles of Ethernet run through the ceilings to our offices and conference rooms. Our IT team did quite a nice job setting it all up years ago. It is flexible, convenient, reliable. We would like to leave all this behind for another tenant to take advantage of. But building code now requires that departing tenants rip out all network cables before they leave. So we will pay to have this massive amount of Ethernet removed. Then someone else will move in and pay to have more cables run. Seems like a waste of time and money. There ought to be a better way. How about making us leave a deposit until the next tenant moves in? If they want the existing cabling, they keep it, and everybody wins. If they don’t want it, we pay to have it removed.

    That’s pretty shocking to hear – never would have guessed that it must be removed.
