radio equipment"
I posted here a comment in the name of the OpenWrt project:

Historical Reference
US FCC attempted a similar thing a few years ago and it received some
backlash. They chose to revise the interpretation instructions for
the rule. Although a regulation (FCC rule) is flexible and less
worrisome. Bad legislation can hang around for a long time.
