The Federal Communications Commission is utilizing its regulatory power to establish market access restrictions on strategic technologies. This includes foreign-produced drones, consumer routers, power inverters, and advanced robotics devices.

This shift involves adapting a regime originally built for radio frequency compliance into a supply chain control program, creating significant legal and operational uncertainty.
