FCC Imposes Ban on All Foreign-Made Consumer Routers (infosecurity-magazine.com)

• Comprehensive ban on non-US manufactured consumer network hardware.
• Driven by national security mandates to protect home network integrity.
• Reflects a broader strategy of technological decoupling and domestic industrial focus.

"The US Federal Communications Commission has expanded its 'covered list' to include all consumer-grade internet routers manufactured outside the United States. This marks a significant escalation in hardware-level security policy, shifting from targeting specific firms to a general geographic exclusion. The move is designed to mitigate systemic risks of espionage and cyber sabotage originating from foreign supply chains. It signals a move toward complete hardware isolationism."
