> What -apart from cost- prevents a user who wants more bandwidth from installing 10 devices in parallel and alternate each radio so none of the radios exceed their allowed transmit duty cycle?

Folks with badges knocking on the user’s door. It is pretty trivial to locate stationary signals.

The point they are making is that if the limit is _per device_ than using 10 devices doesn't break the rules.
The FCC or whoever is almost 100% just looking at power/time/location. Those 10 devices will look like 1 device.
when would the 10 radios be sufficiently spaced to count as separate devices?
Law enforcement that isn't solving 50% of murders also isn't looking for exotic crimes unless there's a lot of money in it for them.
