Genuinely curious:
What are other examples where specific protocols (open or not) are mandated by regulation ?
- r00fus 5y agoThe mandates are often things you don't see as a citizen, but often on government contractors (a huge part of the US economy). The number of RFCs that are required for basic things like email, storage, security etc are essential standards primarily because USG required contractors and vendors to adhere to those standards.
- paulmd 5y agoUSB is a (closed!) protocol that's mandated by regulation. Don't like what the USB-IF has done with their data profiles/power profiles/etc? Prefer a lower-cost connector that doesn't require cables to be hand-assembled? Tough shit.
