FCC Blocks Foreign-Made Routers – 2026-03-30

This episode covers the FCC’s move to restrict or ban certain foreign-made networking equipment—especially routers tied to Chinese manufacturers—highlighting the potential cybersecurity risks, supply chain implications, and how the rule could affect ISPs and consumers. The hosts also discuss broader concerns around hardware trust, existing infrastructure, and what qualifies as “approved” devices under FCC guidelines, along with a brief, lighter mention of a viral robot incident making the rounds online.
