Hi!
I asked Eben Moglen about this and he is saying that they are aware of
the issue and that they hope that SFLC will be able to provide extensive
factual and legal analysis and some view of strategic options soon. So
they will look into this and publish a relatively extensive analysis,
explaining the history of the rule-making, the nature of the
regulation's likely short- and medium-term effects, and discussing
options for legal or political challenges to the rule.

I asked a guy who is in charge of set top boxes for a
major cable provider
and reads FCC rules for fun. He thinks it's real and we'll have to figure
out how to bypass signature checking.

The "invisible hand of the market" is your friend here. There's
economic incentive for the manufacturers to do the minimum possible to
meet the regulatory requirements while minimizing engineering and SKU
skew (heh) to support their global supply chain. I predict a level of
difficulty similar to that necessary to make HTs do extended transmit.

So it may not be that bad. (A HT is a handheld radio that can usually be
reprogrammed with the right cable, software, and expertise).
I've emailed the ARRL's legal staff as well.

Hi,
I'm meeting a vendor tomorrow and I'll ask them about it.
I'm also going to poke some people at the EFF and see what can be done.
Thanks,
