Just a reminder part-15 rules states we have to accept all interference from any legal source. We are not allowed to interfere with other services (licensed). FCC will not do anything to anyone that is running legal equipment. If someone running legal equipment interfere with you it's more of a civil matter where the best chance is building a case against someone for deliberately trying to interfere and preventing you from doing business.

I dont necessarilly agree with that, and I dont think the FCC would either. What I do know is they dont want to go out of their way to harrass WISPs and take action that will result in Consumers loosing their broadband, unnecessarilly. (although they cant say that out loud.) To get action from the FCC, the complainer needs to provide proof that the alledged violator is in fact in violation, and proof that it is causing harm. It cant just be a theory or allegation. I recognize there are budget cuts, shortage of time, and higher priorities, but also I dont believe there are really all that many complaints that actually are backed with real proof, and really getting harmed. The FCC has enough man power to respond to legitimate critical complaints, where there is a good reason to investigate. However, I agree engaging an Attorny and having him send a letter is probably a quicker way to get an initial response. The second both sides start to have to spend money at lawyer rates, people get real quickly, on how important it is or isn't to have the illegal radio isntalled or removed.
