The problem is that it was impractical to register every subscriber
location. I registered 60 locations one night and it took me several
hours. There was no way I was going to invest that much labor into
registrations. They needed both a bulk registration method and to make
their registration page respond faster.
That said, I have had coordination conversations with another
registrant. It was friendly, but it was only marginally productive. We
were not able to agree on TDD ratios or a plan for dividing the
available 50mhz, so basically we kept doing our own thing and resolving
interference cases individually as they came up. It sounds like some of
you have bad neighbors.

From what I've seen, most people are just registering every radio for
the entire 50mhz, so it's not like you can use the information in the
database to actually coordinate anything (and I think that really is
the best option in the current climate, since there's a good chance
your going to have to change channels at some point because of
newcomers to the area)... then there are also the people that never
bother to register anything, or register a few radios and then give up
because it's too much work...
I'm aware of at least four other companies in our general area that
have AP/base stations registered, but last I checked only one of them
had any customer locations registered... for some reason, a lot of
people seem to be under the Impression that you only need to register
the AP (or eNB, in LTE speak), but that's not the case and never was -
everything is supposed to be registered (there is an exception for
mobile devices, but that doesn't apply to anything a WISP would be
using).

You need to register the stations, but there is no requirement to

still might be a good idea to make sure they are up to date on all
their registrations. Sometimes we find folks don’t always update
their information on the FCC site and you can still run into
interference. If there are too many folks in the area, it is easier
to find open channels and then register.

Subject: [AFMUG] 3.65 NN base registration
I have a NN license but have never used it, what is the best
practice/process for registering a base when you have other operators
with bases registered nearby? Do you need to coordinate anything?
I'm looking at deploying in a small town but 2-3 other operators have
bases already registered in the area, can I still deploy? Obviously
need to do a SA before anything....
Thanks,
TJ
