2. On September 15, 2011, in response to a complaint that a signal was
interfering with AT&T Mobility's operations in the 800 MHz band, in
Santa Barbara, CA, an agent from the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles

distributor] that causes harmful interference shall promptly take
appropriate measures to eliminate the harmful interference." At the time
of the investigation, the agent observed signal leakage in the 800 MHz

MHz apart) at 1000 Ladera Lane, Santa Barbara, CA, which was capable of
causing harmful interference to AT&T Mobility's operations.
