A web based server system is disclosed and facilitates the sharing of a
radio transmission resource. The state owners have locations at which
radio transmission equipment may be located, possibly sharing with
existing equipment. Service providers control transmission equipment at
selected locations and provide a radio service. Contractors erect
equipment at the selected locations in response to orders placed by
service providers. An authority wishes to maximise the sharing of
existing locations and thereby minimise the use of new green field
locations. The server system is configured to establish an on-line market
that facilitates the creation of contracts between estate owners and
service providers. The execution of the contracts are monitored by
receiving progress data from contractors service providers and estate
owners. Contract specific data and enterprise specific data is made
available to each of the contractors, service providers and estate
owners. In addition, industry-wide information relating to the sharing of
resources is made available to the authorities.
