My thoughts are those that want to innovate in network devices should do
the innovative work and sell their innovations to the market, then find
out if the market wants those innovations by asking for payments. I find
if people are unwilling to pay for something it many times means that
that something isn't seen as desired. Market signals are a way in a
capitalistic system to allocate resources including human resources.
Asking government to step in and expropriate decades of intellectual
property development or the outside plants via "type II regulation" is
typically not effective and likely not even legal. Few want to do the
work and have their work taken away by the State. Systems that allow
this will cause investment into these activities to cease, and more
importantly, it is a form of State coercion parading itself as "doing
good." Nobody wants to go back to the days of Ma Bell and State
controlled communications.
There are existence proofs of many new Wifi & AP companies since 2015.
One may look there to see how these groups were able to innovate so
their products had monetary value and how device mfg became partners.

We had many notables have key and prophetic things to say about the
internet's problems and future... back in 2015,
when we were fighting to keep home routers open enough to fix them.

I do not think any of the contributors to this document have changed
their opinions much since then, and while I think the situation less
dire, the overall scope of these problems outlined above, wider.
