Nah, "conditional approval" is written into the regulation. You might know this wording better as "pay us a large sum and we'll give you approval."

Based on the regulation as written, approval is granted only if the company:

  • Fully reveals their entire supply chain
  • All business relationships and contracts
  • Justifies why they aren't producing in the US
  • And provides a detailed step-by-step plan with a fixed schedule for moving production to the US
  • Which is then monitored by the government

Exactly, since nothing is made in the US, only the ISP routers on the government list will be legal.
