Related question:  do they even want us to register sites after April 17?

I read the R&O and I'm still unclear on that. I think Steve Coran's summary on the WISPA list said something along the lines of operators MAY continue to register locations after April 17, but they will not be grandfathered once the SAS comes onboard. Does MAY mean you can if you want to, but we no longer care? I think they make it pretty clear that operators can continue adding subscribers to existing basestations, just not clear if they still need to be registered on the now legacy NN licenses. And totally unclear (at least to my feeble brain) if it is legal to deploy new basestations, or for operators without a nationwide NN license to deploy anything at all.

One interpretation would be that 3650-3700 is now effectively unlicensed until the SAS comes onboard, at which point equipment registered by 4/17/15 and operational by 4/17/16 (actually a geographic area around said equipment) will be grandfathered for X years to operate without SAS functionality in 3650-3700 but not 3550-3650. Everything else must have SAS functionality and get frequency assignments dynamically.

Another interpretation would be if you didn't register your equipment by the deadline, you must now stand down until the SAS are available. Effectively putting the band in a holding pattern waiting for the SAS.

I have a bunch of pending 3.65ghz site registrations.

What's the best way to find out what the hold up is?
