Isn't Verizon going to want to establish the demarc on the first pole?

Here, AT&T won't connect to the cable that you provide, so they mount their protectors on a post outside of their pedestal, or on the pole if it is aerial service. It's your baby from there to to building.

I would thing that they are going to have to install some type of terminal or SNI protector, and you will need to connect to the customer side of that demarc. You won't be able to just splice onto their drops and maintain the current protectors at the building as the demarc.
