The only other types of wireless licenses that may not be assigned or transferred are Amateur, Commercial
Operator and, except for the 218-219 MHz Service, Personal Radio Services licenses. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.948(b)(5).
The Personal Radio Services generally are licensed by rule. See generally 47 C.F.R. Part 95. The bar on assigning
or transferring Amateur and Commercial Operator licenses is a logical corollary of the requirement that applicants
for such licenses pass an examination to demonstrate their qualifications. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 13.201 (examination
requirement for Commercial Operator license applicants), 97.501 (examination requirement for Amateur Radio
Service license applicants).
