# 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.

This repository is a **free teaser**, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has **18,343 rows** and is sold by Tensorust LLC: **[https://tensorust.com/datasets/uls-expiring-licenses/](https://tensorust.com/datasets/uls-expiring-licenses/)**.

## 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for renewal purposes RO/RM on the same unique system identifier, received in the last 18 months, not dismissed or withdrawn.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.
