Alternative solutions:
a) customers must not be allowed to replace the software
(pretty easy and cheap; works on existing hardware)
Only (a) can be retrofitted on existing hardware. TP-Link did the

their devices to run OpenWRT). But it really is a choice between (a)
and (z) on existing devices.

(He and Vint Cerf were the lead respondents form the open source
community to the FCC: I was their editor)<br>
