The FCC has been reluctant to make that notification even after numerous complaints, as being too zealous in enforcing the Rules has historically resulted in Congress reducing the funds available to do so. You know the saying 'Was nicht ausdrücklich erlaubt ist, ist verboten'; we have gone quite the opposite way to "Alles was nicht erlaubt ist, ist pflichtig" – at least when there is profit to be had.
This is why I advocate placing a requirement the vendor warrant noninterference and RF immunity in the purchase contract. What laws can't do, money can.
