@zackwhittaker *or are available at all?
Are all the phones, Ethernet cards, etc. that technically fall under this poorly understood jargon going to get swapped out for US-made devices with *zero* overseas parts?
That sounds like a nonsensically heavy lift.

@zackwhittaker So.. does that mean there's going to be a shortage of consumers routers? The US doesn't make anything anymore do they?

Abruptly terminating the entry permits for foreign-made routers is the sort of trade barrier that, were it reversed, American companies would be screaming and suing foreign govts for billions, via trade agreement dispute resolution clauses.

@paulbrzeski @zackwhittaker Apparently, Starlink devices are manufactured in Texas. As far as I can see, the FCC mandates that any transmitters (ie. 5G, wifi, satellite etc.) be manufactured in the USA, other components (SoC, ethernet chips etc.) can be made anywhere else.

@zackwhittaker i think it is to make sure that the routers are accessible for the US gov. And it is not possible to do that with with brands from overseas...
