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

    but does ISP provided equipment count as consumer grade?
