A WISP doesn't own (or lease) everywhere. A company owns or leases their 
corporate space. 

If a Russian or Chinese spy snuck a MiFi into Lockheed Skunkworks and somehow 
passed their other forms of security, you'd be okay with them chugging away 
uploading whatever they found?

While I understand your reasoning, I would disagree. If you could do this, for 
the security of a WISP, we will shut down all Access Points via Deauth attack 
that my Access Points can see. Also note, I am not talking for the FCC, but for 
what I believe is right, in this case, you can’t own a location or area of the 
wifi bands, therefore, you can’t cause harmful interference, and a deauth 
attack would be harmful, and interference. 

I can agree that you can detect it and shut it off on a port on your network, 
but you should not be able to interfere with other operations, regardless if it 
is your property or not. Maybe that’s not the intent from those actions, but 
it’s clear that if it’s not on your network then you can’t do much about it. 
Now, if they are on your property, sure you can tell them to turn it off or 
leave, but that’s another issue. lol

There is no mention of a blanket refusal. In the FCC citation, the fact that 
they're charging for Internet access is brought up every time the deauthing 
activity is. 

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-329743A1.pdf 

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-14-1444A1.pdf 

In reading that second one, they also keep bringing up that Marriott charged 
for Internet (and a lot at that). 

"Specifically, such employees had used this capability to prevent users from 
connecting to the Internet via their own personal Wi-Fi networks when these 
users did not pose a threat to the security of the Gaylord Opryland network or 
its guests." 

Sounds like security is a viable defense.

You can do it all day long within your own company. Marriott was doing it to 
force people to give them money. A company doing it has plenty of other 
reasons.

Note that many of these systems (rather rogue AP prevention) have been deemed 
illegal by the FCC, a hotel chain was fined 600k I think due to it.

I have a customer that is being required to get rogue access point detection. 
not a one time thing but ongoing detection. What products have people used.
