For the sake of efficiency, FCC should publish

1. The name of the person your company must bribe

2. How much it would cost you.

No, you're supposed to guess how much to bribe. They make more that way. And then after you've bribed one person, keep the ink wet because you'll need to bribe someone else soon!

		Everyone knows how much the bribe is: Collusion! Cartels! Calamity! No one knows how much the bribe is? "Relationships are Important", "Cost of Doing Business", "An Investment in Us"

		evidence suggests, however, its still laughably cheap to buy so dont expect more than 1% of annual revenue.

Aren't most routers foreign made?

So a ban is basically shutting down the router market.

And exempting Netgear is arbitrary and hypocritical. Essentially, government has anointed a marketplace winner.

because Netgear is willing to do what the US wants in regards to its mass surveillance projects.
