But as to who makes 'em.. WILSON.
If you are going to buy, Don't wait around, they may soon become scarce.
Per Wilson Electronic Twitter, they are compliant with the new rules. I sent them a tweet the day the new rules were publicly announced.
No They are not . No amplifier on the market meet the new standards that come into effect on March 1 2014 . There will be no grandfathering only units that pass the new standards will be allowed to be sold . If it is deemed your current unit is interfering with a network , you will be asked to shut it down . If you do not comply end users are subject to up to a $10,000 fine.. Here are some links to read from the FCC to understand all the new rules

All the manufacturers are working on new units that will meet these tough new standards and they should all be releasing them by the end of the year
How confident are you with those end of year release date projections?
