"Former computer hacker Kevin Mitnick has won his right to renew his ham radio license.

Mitnick, 39, and a ham radio enthusiast for 25 years, spent more than $16,000 in legal costs in a three year fight to persuade the Federal Communications Commission to renew his license. Normally such renewals are free.

"It's the most expensive amateur radio license in the world," Mitnick told AP."

"Mitnick can also begin legally surfing the Internet again from January 20, when his period on probation expires. He plans to get more involved in computer security work after this time, with plans to run his own consultancy business."
