Things I learned.

In USA, the provider DEMARC used to be at the building wall (i.e. 
12-inches minimum point of entry inside the building). Fiber 
providers sometimes install the ONT inside the wiring structured 
infrastructure cabinet instead on the building outside wall now.

In many other countries, the DEMARC is at the ROW/property line. Comparing 
broadband techniques between countries. The builder/owner is responsible 
for construction between the ROW/property line and the building.

But if the neighborhood builder/developer has no broadband providers 
(coax, telco or fiber) in the ROW, it doesn't matter.

In OECD broadband statistics, USA ranks 15th out of 36 countries. France 
and South Korea are #1 and #2.
