Joint use, finally coordinated.
Joint Use is the multi-party workbench, in design now: pole owners, attaching companies, and regulators working the same pole, from permits to make-ready to transfers, without seeing each other's data.
- Each party sees its own data, plus exactly the shared state it needs. Nothing else.
- Permits, make-ready, and transfers tracked as one thread per pole.
- Confidentiality enforced by the system's design, not by a policy document.
What it will do for every party on the pole.
Joint use runs today on spreadsheets, portals that only the owner can see, and email threads that end in disputes. Joint Use makes the pole itself the shared record.
Attachment inventory
Who is on the pole, at what height, under which agreement. The owner sees all of it; each attacher sees its own.
Permit workflow
Application to decision as a tracked thread with real states, visible to both sides.
Make-ready tracking
Required work, who owes it, and when it's scheduled, visible to the parties it affects while it's still in motion.
Transfer management
When a pole is replaced, every attacher's move is a tracked obligation. Double-wood stops living in a backlog nobody owns.
Confidentiality boundaries
Visibility rules are structural. An attacher never sees a competitor's plant, rates, or plans, and neither does anyone else.
Audit-ready pole history
Every permit, decision, and transfer on the pole, attributed and durable, which takes the heat out of most disputes.
Who works the same pole.
Joint use is a coordination problem between organizations that don't share systems. Joint Use is the system they can share.
The Joint Use Manager
Owns the pole plant and the agreements. Needs the full picture: every attachment, every open obligation.
The Attachment Coordinator
Files the permits and waits. Wants to know where make-ready actually stands, in more detail than "pending".
The Make-Ready Contractor
Does the physical work between parties. Needs a work queue all three parties can see.
The Regulator
Cares that timelines are met and disputes are rare. A shared, attributed record answers most questions before they're asked.
Where it connects
Field Ops
Pole surveys and attachment evidence captured in the field, with the provenance joint use disputes demand.
Network Governance
The governed record the owner's side already trusts: reviewed changes, attributed decisions, durable history.
Operations Intelligence
Permit cycle times, open make-ready obligations, and transfer backlogs, visible before they become disputes.
Help shape the workbench.
Joint Use is in design now, with pole owners and attachers at the table. If joint use is the workflow that hurts most, this is the moment when talking to us changes what gets built.
