Update: I located the ID information, and it's an SNET pole. There is also another tag with a 2015 date. The camera has flexible conduit attached, running to the little box mounted lower on the pole.

I'm currently talking with a Frontier rep (via Twitter). They agree that the pole is theirs, and that since they don't use cameras, it shouldn't be there. I asked them to check if there is a third-party agreement for such a thing and, if not, who I should press to remove it.

They are saying they know nothing about it. Upon closer inspection, I see the lower box has "AT&T" embossed on it. Therefore it is Frontier's equipment.

Another update: I called Frontier, and after fighting with their phone system, I spoke with someone with a thick accent (clearly outsourced customer support). Since I don't have a Frontier account, half the battle was just getting someone to talk to me. Eventually they transferred me to a "technical support" person. When I mentioned that the box had "AT&T" on it, I was told that I need to talk with AT&T. They gave me the main AT&T number. Since I don't have an account there, I had yet another battle trying to get to a human. The lady I spoke with (also with a thick accent) directed me to a technical support phone number. Or not. When I called, I realized that the number was the main Consumer Cellular phone number.

This is crazy. My next path is probably through PURA. I'm close to getting a ladder, going out to the pole, and cutting the sucker off myself.
