- TeMPOraL 7y agoNot exactly. Radio chip firmware is responsible for controlling the physical layer, and restricting access to it is a practical compromise that ensures people don't generally cause RF interference for one another. The problem discussed upthread is on the application layer - you not being able to run arbitrary code on your own device because companies prefer to please one another rather than their customers.
