1 week agoFCC's router ban expands to portable hotspots - 4 things this means for you
The FCC has expanded its ban on foreign-made routers to include mobile hotspots, potentially increasing prices and limiting new features.
But that's not the case everywhere. Here in the UK, the rules for telecommunications providers are set by Ofcom (the Office of Communications), and they're pretty simple -- your hotspot should work like your phone. No limitations, no nonsense. But when I'm not in the UK, things get... more complicated. Even in Europe, which has "Roam Like at Home" rules, there are usually hurdles such as speed caps and "fair use policies" to contend with.
