If the neutral is open at the service drop, other services, like cable tv,  
could be carrying the neutral currrent on it's shield, creating a hazard 
for  workers and users downstream.

I agree. Integrity of power system wiring is a VERY big deal for  safety 
of life and property. Things that could be wrong are 1) poor or  missing 
bonds between neutral and ground; 2) missing neutral connection  from the 
power company service;3)miswiring of power outlets or of the  hardwired 
connections of appliances; 4) ADDITIONAL connections between  neutral and 
ground.
