Wireless Licenses Expiring in 12 Months: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

Every active FCC wireless license held by an organization that expires in the next 12 months, with whether a renewal has been filed.

Headline: A wireless license that reaches its expiration date without a timely renewal terminates automatically, and 17,838 of 18,343 organization-held licenses expiring by Nov 2027 show no renewal filed yet.

Method and limits

Keep active licenses with an expiration date in the next 12 months. Drop individual licensees (applicant type I or no entity name). Scan application AD records for renewal purposes RO/RM on the same unique system identifier, received in the last 18 months, not dismissed or withdrawn. Phone and email dropped.

Not legal advice on renewal deadlines; licensees should confirm in ULS. A missing renewal can mean the licensee plans to let the license lapse, or filed after Oct 31 2026. No individual licensees.
