TL;DR Summary

The FCC revised its guidance to push the deadline for firmware updates on foreign-made drones and routers from 2027 to January 1, 2029, citing espionage and data-exfiltration risks (including the Volt Typhoon threat). The extension, influenced by consumer groups, buys time for updates while signaling potential supply-chain shifts as manufacturers localize.
