PCMag: FCC Extends Update Deadline for Foreign-Made Routers, Drones Until 2029. “The FCC’s bans on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers and drones initially included an expiration date on software updates, but the commission has now extended the cutoff from 2027 to 2029.”

So on Friday, the FCC quietly extended the foreign router firmware deadline to 2029. Why you may ask? Well the said that enforcing it would create cybersecurity risks.

I mean imagine that, unpatched hardware might be an issue....who knew? 🤷‍♂️

The new deadline lands 20 days before the next inauguration. Oh and I believe TikTok says hi.

The US FCC router ban has updates: Now, the first products have been added to the exempted list -- and it's from Netgear, a company that has dedicated years to lobbying the federal government. #routers #USA #wifi #hotspots #devices #ban #FCC #surveillance youtu.be/qjesRkTFZqY

My impression is that the US Gov wants to make routers so pricey that normal people will rent one from their ISP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjesRkTFZqY

That rented one will be controlled by the ISP and the Gov, or you will be forced to pay a $1,200 router (or go to the black market) for what today costs $80 at best.

Imagine the pitch talk about leasing it for 4 years, just in time to become obsolete.

Three companies approved under the FCC router ban. One makes sense. One is already in the government's server cabinets. One is Amazon — and you don't tell Amazon no when they run your classified workloads. Also I pulled the SEC filing. Funny story.
