  1. 01

    What specific security vulnerabilities in routers and modems from these countries concern policymakers most, and how would this study identify risks that current oversight mechanisms miss?

  2. 02

    How would the study's findings lead to concrete policy changes, given that the bill mandates research but sets no deadline or required Congressional action afterward?

  3. 03

    Should consumers be required to replace existing routers from these countries, or would the study only inform future purchasing standards and regulations?
