DOJ Dismisses Suit vs. Osnet to Collect Unpaid FCC Forfeiture Penalty

The government voluntarily dismissed its Sept. 30 complaint to recover $20,000 in an unpaid FCC forfeiture penalty from Osnet Wireless, said a notice Friday in U.S. District Court for Puerto Rico (docket 3:22-cv-01472). Osnet was alleged to have operated two wireless base station devices in a restricted 2300 MHz band without a license, and was accused of ignoring the FCC’s October 2020 notice of apparent liability proposing the fine and the agency’s March 2021 forfeiture order affirming the penalty (see 2210070018).
