TIL that back in the 80s you needed a license to run a microwave oven in Germany.
@root42 @fuchsiii you can thank @BNetzA and #CEPT for normalizing #SpectrumUseage and giving #ISM band useages like that a general permission pending certified #CE & spectrum compliance.
Otherwise you'd have to not only apply for a permit but pay spectrum useage fees for #WiFi as well as any other #radio equipment - even if it's just a passive reciever!
