The only explanation that makes sense to me is that this is a law to:

  • get bribes or favors from telecom equipment manufacturers.
  • Create a framework to force backdoors into consumer equipment.
  • Force users to use ISP provided equipment.

    ISP provided equipment is also made outside of the US. This affects way more than just telecom stuff
