Keep in mind this was licensed lite and the FCC never gave a rat’s ass about
all the operators who didn’t even bother to get a license and register their
locations.
But if you want grandfathered status once the new rules are published and
implemented, then sorting this out now would be advisable.
What kind of equipment is used on these links? Something unlikely to ever work
with the spectrum database, like Ubiquiti or Redline? Even Ubiquiti, if it’s
AF3x, I would hope they have plans to make that work under the new rules. If
it’s something like Rockets, then no.

I'm working to see what the options are with the current licensee. I've
received some info from the FCC.
Transferring is apparently both possible and easy, but you have to transfer the
entire license, and I am only taking one location out of an existing license.
According to the FCC, leasing is not possible in 3650:
"One may be able to obtain service from an existing 3650 licensee (NN radio
service) as long as this licensee is a common carrier. Leasing is not possible
in this band."
The current licensee may just let me use them, but I don't think they are going
to want to work with me after the transfer is complete. They're really looking
to get completely out. Thank you for the suggestions.

Seriously, if the backhauls were put up legally, I wouldn’t take them down
just because they are on someone else’s NN license. I think I would wait until
the new rules are clarified, the SAS is in place, and the spectrum auction for
PALs is announced, then figure out what to do with them under the new regime.
Can you make an arrangement with the other guys that if someone calls trying
to coordinate frequencies, they send them to you? That would seem to satisfy
the spirit if not the letter of the law.
The only problem is if the equipment is not capable of working under the new
regime with dynamic frequency assignment, and you don’t have grandfathered
status, you would probably have to replace it with something newer at that
time, which looks like at least a year or two from now? If you like the
equipment and want grandfathered status, then you probably need to transfer the
license. Or let the company you are acquiring continue to operate those links
and lease the links from them.

we have an 11ghz license that got fubared and ended up in the name of our
purchasing partner, we technically dont own it, it will cost around 800 dollars
to correct it. we are ok because the partner is part of the umbrella of
companies, so long as we dont close that one down ever. Hopefully the 200
dollar license doesnt cost 800 to transfer especially if there is more than one

Can't you just lease the license to the other entity?

If I take over a network that has some 3.65 backhauls, can I transfer
