[TriLUG] FYI - FCC seeks comments regarding prevention of users flashing the firmware of devices containing radio transmitters

[Mike Shaw via TriLUG]

Just saw this -

The Federal Communications Commission seeking comments on preventing users
from flashing the firmware of devices that contain radio transmitters.
(So this would affect Open-WRT on wireless routers, Cyanogenmod on mobile
devices, etc.)  If you don't want the FCC to restrict users from doing this
-- or
want to know why you should not want them to restrict this, visit:

which re-directs to:

Comments are due October 9th!
