I asked a similar question of our local municipally-owned
electric company.  They said a 40 foot pole could be 
delivered to my home and installed for $300.00. It 
couldn't hurt to ask your local utility if they would
do the same for you.  You most likely couldn't find
a mover, large earth auger, crane, etc at a similar 
price on your own.  YMMV
It's sort of like the "free tower" concept, isn't it?
