minus-squarejwiggler@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agoAnyone know if there are immediate practical implications of this? I get foreign made routers are now deemed a security risk, but Previously purchased routers can still be used and retailers can still sell models that were approved by the prior FCC policies. so it seems not much is changed? I’m curious what this means practically in the near term. still quite concerning and stupid . Edit: oh theyre banning imports apparently. Guess i didnt know the meaning of the Covered List? https://apnews.com/article/fcc-foreign-router-ban-national-security-technology-7e5333aeaf82496ce6350f57699db5ba
