Sorry
for the late reply, just wanted to add my two cents. We have a
aggressive competitor in one of our deployments. In this particular area our
primary is Waveriders 900mgHz NLOS. (trees, lots of them) As far as a
legal aspect, our lawyers indicate that you must be able to 'prove' they are
intentionally harming your service. Now, by proof... that means... in a
court of law. Unfortunatly its hard to _prove_ that whatever they deployed
for whatever reason is not something truthfully neccesary for their system.
As far as the wireless regulations go, its a free spectrum... there are no
rules beyond the ones already initiated by the FCC (max gain
etc).

Nothing a needle pierce wouldn't fix.
Take a needle, run it into his coax until it hits the center conductor,
cut the needle flush and smooth the jacket over the hole. Instant cable
short, he will never find it and will have to rerun the coax.
I
know, it's evil, mean, dirty and nasty. I've tested it and it works, never
done it to a competitor but nice thing to know. ;-)

I don't really
know for sure what they are using, simpleMonitor showed me the MAC address
of their ap and I looked it up and found out it is an Aironet MAC
address. When we called them over a month ago to try and cooperate
with them, they told us they were going to be running on channels 1, 6,
& 11. We told them that we were running on channels 1, 4, 8,
& 11 and asked them if they could change their channels, they
basically said they would do what they want, wherever they want, and it is
our problem, not theirs. Even when we told them, nicely, that we
were here first, we already had customers online on those channels, they
didn't give a s**t. I may be over reacting too soon, but I am going
by the attitude they gave us when we talked to them. There seemed to
be absolutely no interest on their part to get along or cooperate or share
the spectrum.
