@gme @vfrmedia do you actually get your home address back if you pay?
From my understanding that's where it gets dubious, and apparently there is all kinds of fine print in TOCs.
There are also (from casual searching) laws in place in most states about how that information can be used if you obtain it, so I'd still say it isn't "public." you might be able to get it, but using it may have consequences- it's still a far cry from the FCCs "here's all the info and you don't even need a login"
