Something out of a tv show?

So for almost a month, there has been a "Verizon" truck in my neighborhood, parked with orange cones around it and odd looking metal canisters.
It looks like something out of Alias. It wouldn't bother me if say, agent Sydney Bristow was around - but so far - just a wierd looking truck...and never any workers when I pass by to and from the station.
Hmmmmm.
