Counselors, one of the City's that I represent was presented with an License
Agreement regarding the operation of wireless internet services. One of the
paragraphs states as follows: I find this somewhat worrisome since they are
wanting the City to grant them exclusive rights to operate all of these
frequencies. When I requested copies of licenses from the FCC to operate on
these frequencies, the provider stated they did not need a FCC license to
use these frequencies. Anybody else have experience in dealing with this
type of Agreement?

Thanks

I see that the service provider can cancel with 30 days' notice if there is
interference.  What about the city?  If things go sideways, how hard would
it be for your city to terminate the agreement?
