[Discuss] Fwd: Hey FCC, Don't Lock Down Our Wi-Fi Routers | WIRED

[jack at coats.org (Jack Coats)]

Yes, very disturbing.  But I totally expect there to be some open source
software defined radio setup built to allow using it with DD-WRT or
similar, so that true experimenters won't be blocked totally by bureaucrats.

Industry seems to be doing their best to block users that want/need more
than their product-de-jour or ones that are truely security focused.  To
help them keep up their revenue, they are enlisting the regulatory agencies
to help them and not the public that the regulators are there to serve and
look out for. ... grump ...
