Quite the opposite.  You don't know what the customer did before you got there and after you left.  And even a "small" mistake could be a $50,000 problem.  A consultant would be crazy to accept liability for FCC fines, quite the opposite:  You'd want them to sign an agreement indemnifying you from any liability for FCC fines.

It seems to me, that just about anybody with the proper knowledge could start a service like that... you'd basically just have to be willing/able to take on the liability for any FCC fines that somebody got on a system that you certified.

One downside to the FCC doing it, is that I think a lot of people would be hesitant to invite the FCC to look at their stuff. WISPA could certainly do it though... heck, they could make it a requirement for membership and clean up the whole industry a lot.

    I always wished the FCC, or better yet, WISPA would offer a
    network audit service. Just to come in and verify compliance. Tier
    one is just looking at your configs, doesnt cost a huge amount,
    tier 2 they actually do EIRP verification and all that in the
    field for a bigger price. Id rather pay some outfit a couple grand
    than the FCC a whole lot more. I know the FCC normally issues a
    cease order before a fine if you have an honest mistake, but at
    some point it will just be a fine. People in the past have said "I
    can take a look", thats all fine and good, so can I. But can you
    certify it?

        It 10/24/2022 is what your license says then yes, that is

        So sounds like consensus is we can continue to operate under
        the NN license until 10/24/2022?
        I do have these AP locations registered and will double check
        power is within limits.
        Thanks

            I would very much second that statement - make sure you
            are following all the rules for 90z going forward.

            Yeah, but tricky part is going to be stuff that's still
            operating legally under an unexpired license that the
            SAS can't manage. I think it would be wise to make sure
            everything is properly registered and you're not doing
            anything questionable if you plan to keep operating
            under the old rules much beyond April.

                If it goes outside of SAS being able to manage an
                issue, such all illegal operators, particularly when
                more sensing capability comes into play with SAS
                2.0, you do not want to be the guy who gets nailed.
                Apparently this iteration of the SAS modality is an
                entry run for a much larger spectrum management, as
                is the cowboy days are over moving forward

                    Yeah, I agree, they probably will make an

                    any reason why they'd bother with somebody who
                    still has a valid license. They'll probably go
                    after some guys that are blatantly running some
                    old Ubiquiti or WiMax gear after their license
                    expires.

                        I would expect the FCC to make an example of
                        a couple of operators who continue to
                        operate 90z equipment illegally after the
                        license expires.   We all have too much to
                        lose here if the operators are not running
                        legally and the mobile industry starts
                        another attempt to push everyone out that
                        isn’t a mobile carrier.
