Continue with business as usual the only difference is everything 
registered after 4/17/15 does not get protection once the CBRS SAS 
system gets going (probably late 2017 or 2018).


After 4/17/2020 everything has to talk to the SAS.

There's more to it obviously but that's the cliff notes version.  
There have been many WISPA webinars and they had 2 sessions about it 
at WISPAPALOOZA.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 licensing due diligence

[Rick Harnish]

Cameron,

It is a nationwide license.  You can’t sell a part of it.  They really aren’t 
worth enough to even attempt to split it anyways.  The legal costs and delay 
would put you in a deep hole anyways.  I’m sure the FCC doesn’t want to make an 
exception for a license that will most likely be terminated in 2018 anyways.  
The last license I brokered was purchased by a Wisp for $500.

Essentially the same as ISM/UNIII but you pay a fee and put your name in a data

[Mathew Howard]

If I remember correctly, we can only operate under the old rules until some
time in 2020 anyway, so at best renewing would only extend it about a year
and a half, in your case. I would hope the new system will be running by
2018, but who knows... if it isn't there could end up being a year and a
half or so where you're just out of luck.

Why would an wisp sell this?  Why would they not want to make use of the

Tyson,

License holders willing to sell their licenses are not necessarily Wisps.  
Maybe they tried and failed or never got their business off the ground.  
Whatever the case, there are licenses available that have never registered a 
device and have no plans to start now.

For my own curiosity

Why would an wisp sell this?  Why would they not want to make use of the

Yes, you can buy any license previously awarded.

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.

I thought new locations could not be registered under an existing NN
licence.

Can they? If you have an NN licence, can you still deploy new APs at new
locations, and new SMs?

Yes, you can still register new locations. Anything in the database 
after Apr 17 2015 will not get grandfathered protection status.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 licensing due diligence

[Ken Hohhof]

Back when 3.65 was new, a lot of WISPs applied for a license thinking it was a 
homesteading thing and they would get some sort of exclusivity by staking their 
claim first.  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.

Subject: [AFMUG] 3.65 licensing due diligence 

What Is the process to get a 365 license and start working an area with current 
licensees already in the same footprint ? 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 ?

People need to remember those licenses are only for 10 years, mine runs out 
10/25/2018.  Not sure if it’s an automatic pay the fee and get another 10 years 
or what.  Hopefully by 2018 the FCC has the new system set up and has done PAL 
auctions, but you never know.  They are good at criticizing ISPs for moving too 
slow, but it’s kind of a “do as I say, not as I do” thing.

There was Redline gear at those sites, but none of it was working. I didn't 
bother trying to figure out why.

Back when 3.65 was new, a lot of WISPs applied for a license thinking it was a 
homesteading thing and they would get some sort of exclusivity by staking their 
claim first.  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.

Yes, you can buy any license previously awarded.



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.

since its a nationwide license, you can buy and sell anywhere in fcc territory 
cant you?



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

The FCC  will not be renewing the NN license for 3650-3700.   It will become 
CBSD and follow those rules.

The FCC stopped issuing NN licenses around April of last year.  You would have 
to find a way to acquire one from an existing license holder.
