It is called the service point and typically that will be the crimps
where an overhead drop connects at the drip loop or at the street in
the case of a service lateral. You own the wire coming down the side
of the house and the meter socket but they own the meter and they have
common carrier power to seal the meter can. "

Which begs the question: Who owns the flight from
top of the house to the wires above the street?


Not sure what the issue there is, as the above paragraph say, the
overhead service wire from the house masthead to the street is
owned by the utility. At least that's the usual case, there might
be some exceptions, somewhere.
