US Calif here. Do the wiring regs require that Cable and Telco services are
bonded to the electricity ground. It seems that my telco has it's own
ground (a wire disappears into the earth!), and the catv service is bonded
to an electrical conduit (but not the the ground stake itself). Any advise
for getting them changed to comply with wiring regs at no cost?

Call 'em and ask. The NEC now mandates bonding to the electrical
service ground, but if your installation was before the change (1996?)
then the change won't happen until the line is serviced for some
reason. Locally, both cable and telco will do this anytime there
needs to be work on the connection, even if it's a test for fuzzy
picture/bad sound.
