My only point is this:
Why is it only on 2 lamp posts on my street (prob. the least populated) in a whole pretty large neighborhood (300 homes) full of houses. I jog up and down these streets close by everyday and have not seen one other box like this. Or did everyone fail to look at that aspect of my posts.
No, I am not ignoring anyone. I am considering all options. I tried to call the power company this afternoon and got the run around (again) so maybe I will have to do something else ie say it is broken or something.
The red note as it turns out is a city sticker that says it is a fine to steal the road sign that is attached to the pole.
However, I took my niece trick or treating in another city nearby and they had the exact same sticker on the back of a stop sign except it was gold colored.
I do not know if these things are relvant or not.

Well I think.... it is one of 2 things.
You either have an important neighbor with an important job to do, requiring a secure satelite repeater, or wifi type component because you live way out where ever you live~
something along those lines. It doesn't seem too far fetched that if you had an astronaut or an agent or any of the people who do those types of things from home, that they would need specific 'out of the box' hardware to securely do their job.
or-
My first thought was a bug snapper, honestly.

This one is directly above a group of mailboxes, what about the other one? Is there a mailbox under it as well?
Could be a sensor or a security guards checkpoint, is this a gated community?
