I would tend to think the ONT is treated as the demarc point.  Most 
carriers I've seen treat them as the optical equivalent of copper NIDs or 
smartjacks.

I have no non-physical access (1) to the ONT for the FiOS installation at 
my house, and no responsibility for it, beyond providing it with power.

(1) a possibly untrue statement, but I've never had any real need to mess 
around with it ;)
