E57:
Yes, the same situations re: POCO showing up.
As an AHJ, I do service inspection, post approval on panel, and send a cut-in card to the POCO the same day, hard copy via US Mail, and via fax to district POCO office. (PSE&G).
On replacements, 99% of the EC's tie into the drop, otherwise....darkness for a while.
New construction....depends on how many phone calls the builder/GC/EC make to 'xxtch'
Comm seems to have an advantage time-wise (new). Repairs/re-connects/disconnects CAN be scheduled, and 'guaranteed' but...$$$$$
Also, I just noticed some of the fees the POCO charges for temp connects, etc. Used to be basically a "freebe", but not since deregulation.
Stay safe
