Can't really be sure, but it looks like maybe they goofed and used 1-1/2" or 2" for the service mast and then added the 2-1/2" for the point of attachment.
In my area, the power company requires all service masts used as the point of attachment to be 2-1/2" rigid Galv.

Yup, Most. N-star/Keyspan- whoever they are today.
This guy needs better planning or a bender.
Perhaps the spare is for cable phone etc.
I see no bennefit for support. Same # and size clips etc.
Just buying extra time IMO.
edit: Those compression fittings aren't valid in another 2 days are they?

The pre-bends with compression fittings give away the riser as EMT.. Likely a new shop that hasn't invested in a 555 bender yet. If this is in So Cal Edison, PG&E, SDG&E, LADWP or any other So Cal utility territory, I'll bet they refused the EMT as an attatchment point and someone dreamed up the RMC "Pole"

That looks like a fairly old Circle AW meter can (current models have a plastic cover over the breaker).All I have to say it's one nasty looking install.:(

I think the installer just wanted to provide a nice shelter for all those homeless wasps.
