In CBRS you'll get higher EIRP, you'll no longer have the +2dbm Tx limit
on mobile devices, and you'll have access to 3x the spectrum. Overall
you'd much rather operate under the CBRS rules
The main reason a person might prefer NN is they don't have to pay for
the SAS.
In theory you could argue that a grandfathered NN license protects you
from interference from a CBRS operator, but a person better make sure
they don't have any of those "bodies in the trunk" if they try to call
the FCC for help with that. We'd also likely be stuck with old equipment
in that case. If we use the advantages of the new rules then it's hard
to argue that we should be protected by the old license, and if we're
using old Wimax gear with our old license then we'll be less competitive
than someone with modern electronics, another 100mhz, and 8 or 10 more
db in the link budget.
In my opinion NN is dead already, regardless of what year a specific
license expires.
RIP NN

Apparently there was a window of time where new or renewed licenses got
expiration dates out to like 2025. See for example WQVI696. I'm a little
unclear on whether all Part 96 equipment becomes illegal this April regardless
of whether your NN license expires. Ours was renewed in October 2018 and
expires April 2020, so it's moot unless we get an extension. But I know at
least one WISP that thinks they have lots of time because their license doesn't
expire until 2024.
That's another bizarre feature of how the FCC has handled this. A license
acquired or renewed in 2018 expires in 2020, but one acquired in 2015 runs the
full 10 years to 2025? That's just random. How can they not grant extensions
if some licenses still have 5 years to run?

yep, and a self fulfilling failure on the part of the FCC. The FCC
looked at the registered CPE and decided that WISP’s were not using
the band without ever considering how badly they fubared the entire
registration process.
You WISP’s don’t need an extension, you didn’t use the band. Uh, yeah.
Is the NN shutdown date still April 17, 2020?
