What I'd like to see: Foreign manufacturers shipping devices to this country should make frequent firmware updates available. If they use open source / GPL'ed software then should release that too. There should be a period of X (maybe 5) years after which a device is considered obsolete. At that time all sources inclusive of the opaque binary blobs should be released. There should be a site / infra by FCC where manufacturers could dump those files. The FCC itself should get a copy of the source of opaque binary blobs as soon as the device is introduced in the local market. If that is made a mandate, there are couple of benefits: No device that suspiciously sends data to foreign servers. Less e-trash as community can build / maintain firmware as there is access to source code.
