- Custodial Areas with Verizon - Within the joint use pole agreement between National Grid and Verizon NY, Inc., custodial areas have been established in reference to billing of Third Party pole attachments on jointly owned poles. Custodial Areas are assigned by tax district (municipality) within the common NMPC-Verizon service areas. Custodial assignments do not exist with any other of National Grid's joint pole owners. Notwithstanding custodial assignment, application for attachment must be submitted to each pole owner (National Grid and Verizon) and each pole owner grants a license for the attachment.
