This is a pole for electrical and Verizon FIOS wiring that was recently hit by a car and damaged, which caused service disruption. It highlights the vulnerability of such above ground distribution systems. With a single careless driver, the services for electricity, cable, and internet are disrupted for a whole neighborhood. Below grade wiring infrastructure would solve this problem. This system is also quite sensitive to damage from trees and heavy ice.
