So I expect there are WISPs with licenses who never deployed anything. For example, I think Michael Anderson of Part15.org and PDQLink registered a bunch of sites with Redline equipment, I am guessing few if any of those were ever deployed. More like virtual flags planted on the moon. Also, I would speculate that WISPs sold to aggregators like JAB may not have transferred their 3.65 band licenses as part of the sale, so individuals might be sitting on some licenses but barred from using them by a no-compete clause. I don’t know this for a fact, just guessing.

I don’t know of any stipulations. You do need to file for a license ownership transfer with the FCC. That may take 60 to 90 days. The FCC did eliminate many of its field employees last fall. Budgets are tight the way I understand it. That being said, it seems they are fining operators quite handily for breaking rules these days.

Are there any stipulations on the transfer? would be awesome to see an FCC crackdown since there arent going to be any new licenses, nobody can backdoor it. The FCC could contract some unemployed drivers to do drive testing finding all the unregistered transmitters and fine the hell out of the operators, into bankruptcy preferably. lien lien lien On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 8:35 AM, Rick Harnish <[email protected]> wrote: TJ, I have a couple existing license holders willing to sell their licenses.

Just register for the license, register the ap and try not to be on the same channel as someone else? Essentially the same as ISM/UNIII but you pay a fee and put your name in a data base ? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
