The idea is good but how will they enforce it? Will broadband companies that distribute this brand of routers get compensated for the CAPEX hit?

Is everyone just ignoring this? The threat is real and we ourselves have found evidence that China is NOT the only threat actor and the targets are not just the large telecoms. The problems are a LOT more prevalent.

Look what my Kavalan discovered today! Surely, companies like @wired.com can do better! Why enable so many third parties to have access to my browsing habits?

This surely has my rethinking my use of the Wired website.
