John Morris@lauren So what's the angle here? Will the US made routers also be required to have government controlled monitoring software? Or is it simple grift, someone owns some US companies that could quickly make crap routers?

found the instructions for applying for an exemption to import a foreign-made router in the US: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/Guidance-for-Conditional-Approvals-Submissions0326.pdf "A detailed, time-bound plan to establish or expand manufacturing in the United States for the router for which the applicant is seeking Conditional Approval in order for that device to qualify for FCC authorization;" lmao
