FCC Enforcement Monitor
April 2025 By Scott R. Flick, Adam J. Sandler 04.29.25

"....the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau conducted its own investigation and issued a Notice of Unlicensed Operation (NOUO) to an individual.

The Notice of Harmful Interference stated that signal boosters must always operate on a non-interference basis and... ....The building owner has 10 days to respond in writing to the FCC...."

I think my favorite part of the whole report was this one line, because it made me laugh..

"....The individual has 10 days to respond to the FCC with a description of the steps he is taking to avoid future unlicensed operation and interference."
