Part 1.948 makes it a requirement and there have been very large fines levied for transferring licenses without first gaining FCC approval

Would be neat to say that the trigger of a merger or similar action requires the transfer of a license.

Since ISP A is now the operator of the control point they would be illegally operating the point to point stations without assuming them from ISP B, am I correct? Any rulings, court cases, opinions would be super. Thanks in advance.
