And I don’t think Commissioner Pai or O’Rielly disagree with you. They want clear FCC regulations on the matter.
I agree with them. Jamming by definition is the increase of RF energy to overcome the lawful transmission of someone else… and even then… in Part 15… you have no recourse. I don’t think the FCC is exceeding its authority, but I do think the FCC needs to define the authority. Section 47 U.S.C. § 333 of the Telecommunications Act of 1933 is where the FCC gets its authority on the matter (according to the FCC website)… here is the text: No person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with or cause interference to any radio communications of any station licensed or authorized by or under this chapter or operated by the United States Government. Interference in regards to radio communications has always been defined as RF energy. The code was written long before something like de-auth was possible. The FCC should make a clear definition of what jamming is… what is there to argue with there?

The convention center APs would send spoofed deauth to anything they heard, including devices well outside the convention center. Deliberate malicious interference with another's use of shared spectrum.
