Doug:
I have seen the meter pan gizmos within a PowerPoint I received from Erico. They did a comparison of devices and $$ for the 250.94 requirement.
Our POCO (PSE&G) does not allow anything attached to the meter pan.
Thanks again for the links I have heard in many areas that is the case fwiw I have never seen one installed. I have seen the the CATV guys use one that connects to the meter pan corner though.

My all time favorites are the Dish/CATV installers that use the 2"/2-1/2" pipe clamp on the PVC risers!! Way to go!

All of these things are what caused the inter system bonding block rule.

Which, IMHO is a good addition to the code.

Prior to that a fairly standard thing here was for them to extend the tail of the 4g solid GEC out through the hole behind the meter can and leave about a foot or so hanging in the air for the other providers to split bolt to.
The inter system grounding block made that a lot more elegant.

Perfectly legal here to use the electrical service mast for the telephone and cable drop. Must be 1 foot lower than the power but still at least 2 feet above the roof.

They have modified 230.28?
"... Only power service-drop conductors shall be permitted to be attached to a service mast."

Good citation, Greg ... but please note that Mikesh is one of our Northern Cousins.
While we're on the topic of proper RG-6 installations ... what is the trade's opinion of securing the cable using simple (appropriately sized and shaped) wire staples? Are they OK, or is the use of the plastic hooks preferred?

I bet you, I can see every staple on a scope set up for TDR if you crush the shield a little.
Whether that will show up on your TV is just how bad the cable is damaged.

Its interesting the way our local utilities address this on their web sites.
Manitoba Telecom Services says they will not attach to the electric service mast and one for telephone service must be provided for them if required for ground clearance.
Manitoba Hydro does not reference external attachments to the mast at all in their service requirement pages.
Shaw cable also has no residential service entrance requirements regarding attachment points that I could find on there web site.
