[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago* (2 children) Anyone 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 permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago Its the lack of security risks that they object to. permalink fedilink source parent [–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago So will the US keep getting old model routers while the rest of the world gets the new stuff? permalink fedilink source parent
