Based on the last few years of enforcement action, it would take more 
than an inaccessible public file to bring down either of those 
punishments...but refusal to allow inspection of the public file does 
all but guarantee a stiff fine (I don't recall if it's a $1500 hit or a 
$7000 hit off the top of my head), not to mention a full inspection 
(which will probably turn up more violation$$$). I've also seen the 
Commission impose a compliance plan on licensees - mandatory staff 
training about the public file rules, and a requirement to certify to 
the FCC on a regular basis that the rules are being followed.
