On July 6, 2007, new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations
in the United States went into effect on devices that use
software-defined radio (SDR) technologies. These devices include
wireless access points, cell phones, PDA's, wireless network cards, etc.
The FCC ruling will make it more difficult for manufacturers to get
approval for these types of devices in this country. Accoring to the FCC
the regulations are based primarily on safety and will attempt to stop
users from doing things like modifying the source code of the devices to
boost power or change frequencies of the devices.
