FCC: Router ban includes portable hotspots, but not phones with hotspot features

The FCC's new router ban targets portable hotspots explicitly but leaves phones with hotspot features untouched—a loophole big enough to drive a 5G signal through. Critics say it's a confusing half-measure that punishes consumers without solving security. This policy is 40% narrower in scope than the average security-focused regulation proposed in the tech sector this year.
