I'm not sure this is where I saw the discussion regarding license
requirements for cellular repeaters, but some had stated that no FCC
license was required. From today's FCC Daily Digest, it appears they
disagree.

The fine is for not responding fully to the FCC inquiry, but the
letter does indicate they are to be operated under a cellular or PCS
license. The manufacturer had argued that these units were not
transmitters. The FCC said "The second LOI stated that, contrary to
Digital Antenna’s assertions, cellular and PCS boosters and repeaters
are transmitters and may only be used by licensed cellular/PCS
providers or by end user customers with the express authorization of
the licensed provider."
