So at what point do they ban all new computers not made domestically?
So at what point do they ban all new computers
not made domestically?FTFY. It’s the same thing.
well pricing them out of reach of the population wasn’t working, so soon
So… all network routers?
Yes.

I wonder if this means the rest of the world gets cheap routers for a while, or whether prices go up because the demand isn’t there to make them available at volume anymore.
What does this mean for the ISP supplied units?
I’m thinking exempt based on the FCC language of “designed to be installed by the consumer”. ISP provided routers are usually hooked up by the installer tech. Which makes me wonder which ISP chortled orange man’s balls to get this passed.
At least round here if there’s no wiring to be done the ISP just couriers the boxes and lets the customer plug them in.
They’re always rentals though, correct? It’ll be interesting to see which way it swings, for sure. Stupid stupid rule either way.
What does this mean for enterprise hardware, specifically Cisco?
Only consumer products are covered
Nothing, because laws are only for wealthy entities that can afford to pay the tedious fines. Us proletariat poors have to comply with this shit while they look down at us.
Quick question. What would happen if China decided to get angry about this, and stop selling 100% of their goods to American companies unless they allowed 100% of their goods to be sold without restrictions?
Global economic collapse.
Still less of an impact than whatever the fuck trump is doing.
Oh so nothing would change then. Good to know.
Well, faster now.
Constructing the pillars of the bigly yuge firewall of america
This is so stupid that I can barely even think of a nefarious reason to do it.
The few “usa made” routers companies lobbying your president to forbid their competition?
It’s so they can more reliably distribute their own backdoors.
But how? America doesn’t make routers. There’s no American routers to put backdoors in!
That’ll be part of the “concessions” that foreign made routers make to get approval.
Why the fuck else would the department of defense need to weigh in?
It also allows the DoD and DHS to collect application fees which gives them dark money to play with outside the oversight of Congress.
Doesn’t have to be a hardware backdoor. Router manufacturers can easily push software updates that contain said “backdoor” for the low, low price of licking Trump’s backdoor.
It would seem to exclude ISP provided routers =/
It’s incredible how every day in this country continues to be unimaginably dumber than the last.
It’s really amazing how this country just ran on word and vibes up to this point. Turns out you could just do whatever and nobody would have the cajones to stop you
This must mean the ones already in our homes and offices are perfectly safe.
I’m so glad they’re focusing on this instead of how shitty and expensive our home internet is.
You’ll be able to save so much money once private households wont have internet anymore!
Mandatory Triple play packages by xfinity is coming BACK! Yay… I forgot what it was like to over pay for my internet with 2 additional services I don’t want. Can’t wait.

Land of the free? Freedom just keeps slipping away…
lmfao. apparently the way this was originally written would have prevented non-exempt routers from getting security updates. you know, the alleged reason this ruling even exists. somebody at the FCC office of engineering and technology must have noticed because they issued a temporary waiver (PDF file).
Applying the revised 47 CFR §§ 2.932(b) and 2.1043(b) to the newly added Covered Routers would have the effect of prohibiting permissive changes to Covered Routers even if they were authorized prior to the March 23, 2026, Covered List addition. This prohibition would be in effect even for Class I permissive changes—such as software and firmware security updates that mitigate harm to U.S. consumers—because previously-authorized Routers are now covered equipment. … Therefore, OET concludes that a limited waiver until March 1, 2027, is warranted and inthe public interest. March 1, 2027, is convenient because it is the date until which the recent DoW determination excepts certain otherwise Covered Routers. Prior to March 1, 2027, the OET will re-evaluate whether to further extend applicability.
