PatrickSo on Friday, the FCC quietly extended the foreign router firmware deadline to 2029. Why you may ask? Well the said that enforcing it would create cybersecurity risks.
I mean imagine that, unpatched hardware might be an issue....who knew? 🤷♂️
The new deadline lands 20 days before the next inauguration. Oh and I believe TikTok says hi.

.:\dGh/:.My impression is that the US Gov wants to make routers so pricey that normal people will rent one from their ISP.

That rented one will be controlled by the ISP and the Gov, or you will be forced to pay a $1,200 router (or go to the black market) for what today costs $80 at best.
Imagine the pitch talk about leasing it for 4 years, just in time to become obsolete.
