The good news is this domain doesn't call for cutting edge, 2 nm process.
There are more than a half dozen fabs in the US which can produce networking chips like ethernet controllers, line drivers, SOC, etc: Intel, TI, Samsung, et al. If US wanted to onshore routers, we could make it happen.

- einpoklum 7mo agoIf I understand the determination on which the FCC decision is based: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/NSD-Routers0326.pdf https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/NSD-Routers0326.pdf a router produced in the US from foreign-made parts - like controllers, drivers etc. - is not in the "covered list". Although I admit the wording is vague: "produced in the US".
