The Commission lost no time in warning that use by the general public of Army surplus walkie-talkies might bring a $10,000 fine or two years’ Imprisonment or both. Under the Communications Act no person may operate a radio transmitter without obtaining a license from the FCC. And no licenses will be issued for walkie-talkies for the general public until the citizens radio communication service goes into effect. This service will govern the use of walkie-talkies by the public. The Commission said that it would not be started until "equipment operating in the (walkie-talkie) band" had reached a "satisfactory stage of development" and until the Commission had "completed certain technical and legal studies.
