Aren't most routers foreign made?

So a ban is basically shutting down the router market.

And exempting Netgear is arbitrary and hypocritical. Essentially, government has anointed a marketplace winner.

For the sake of efficiency, FCC should publish

1. The name of the person your company must bribe

2. How much it would cost you.
