Wouldn't it be easier and faster to just repel from a chopper, hovered say 20' above it? 
No expert here but I imagine that would be very difficult. Very small target and lots of wind.
If they can do it in that power lines video, I guess they could do it there too.
I'm guessing it's more of a $$ decision this way. The cost of hiring a helicopter and tower worker must be much higher than letting the worker climb alone. Power companies have greater budget than cell tower maintenance.
Guy is on a stable attached platform for the power lines not swinging from a rope. I have no actual knowlege og this stuff so still just guessing.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
