codesilver, it is interesting how Fibertower and StraightPath went about getting their licenses renewed. Wonder what your and others take is in comparing Fibertower's position to that of Straighpaths.
Fibertower on one hand tried to work hand in hand with the FCC and seemed to have approval just before the deadline and then the carrot was pulled away. They also had a viable backhaul business and were developing products and services for their spectrum.
StraightPath on the other hand appears to have almost tried to sloppily dupe the FCC. What I found most disturbing from the StraightPath findings was there complete lack of protocols, policies, and procedures. The response from their so called investigation still leaves one wondering what exactly happened? Did they ship equipment to the locations only to have it sent back and never installed or up and running?
Interviews and contemporaneous documents consistently confirm that equipment was deployed at the original locations in connection with the substantial service applications, but the investigators concluded, based on the weight of the evidence, that the equipment was likely put in place for a short period of time at each location. Although the investigators did not find any evidence that the equipment used in connection with the substantial service applications is still present at the originally specified locations, the investigators found no credible evidence that anyone informed Straight Path prior to November 2015 that equipment may no longer have been present at those locations, except that Straight Path became aware in late 2013 that equipment was missing from a single location that the Company addressed at that time.
