I filed a complaint with the FCC regarding a suspected jamming device. I'm pretty sure they didn't even read it. They forwarded the complaint to my wireless carrier, who sent a reply saying that the complaint had nothing to do with them and that my original complaint had reported a jammer. The FCC closed the complaint and considers it satisfied.
- Spooky23 10y agoIn this case, the complaint is unauthorized radio operation.
- droopybuns 10y agoThis is the gold standard example of the FCC's behavior towards cellular spectrum. They have a very different mission when it comes to HAM spectrum. Cellular spectrum: Grandstand and extract cash from the carriers. Ham spectrum: Antenna-laden vans canvasing neighborhoods for radio pirates. It is despicable.

- zodPod 10y agoWow. Well, thanks for that! That's pretty bizarre!
- droopybuns 10y agoI don't! I only have stories from radio pirates.
- massysett 10y agoCool, this is the agency I want to have on the job of regulating the Internet so it is "neutral".
