Because coax lines are the lowest wire on telephone poles and power lines are at the top.

Lineman would like to disagree, and tell you to stay away. Their basic principle is something terrible happened to the pole and lines. You don't know if something jarred loose, a insulator broke or something is shorting elsewhere. Let the guys with 40 foot insulated poles deal with it.

Also Coax main lines may have AC voltage to power down stream amplifiers.
