Yes, AT&T needs to be forced to share the pole. Power companies are forced to share with AT&T, and there's a reason for it. It reduces the amount of poles needed in a given area. In return for being forced to share the pole, a company has to compensate the owner/maintainer of the pole. It's a simple and mandated practice in the industry.

Also, running underground is way more expensive than aerial. It's also more difficult and time consuming to repair.
