The bond may be done at or in the customer premises, although for domestic 
installations, usually isn't. In my case, the safety ground is separate from 
the electricity supply ground because I refused to have PME. However, the 
neutral is grounded at the pole in the garden, which is the end of the line 
from the transformer, but is strictly in my premises. Hard and fast rules can 
be more difficult to apply in rural installations.
The basic principle of dealing with the protective ground wire and the neutral 
as being separate conductors with separate functions does, I believe, still 
apply.
