Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Hi, i have an utility pole in my backyard. Con Edison, Verizon and Cablevision uses it. I would like to know if this pole is considered to be on my property or do these companies have the right to use my property? I never granted them permission. The reason i ask is i would either like to have this pole removed from my backyard or these companies should pay me rent.

The probably have an easment (right of use). You would have to conduct a title search on the property to determine the nature of the easment.
