wasn’t there also some concern about messing up the radio communication for a lot of users?
the idea was that you actually can’t mess with radio communications. if you send too much data, it kinda clogs the airspace of radio frequencies and that’ actually illegal to do in many countries. rooting the android phone lets you access the radio antenna directly, and you can’t let playful nerds mess up the city’s mobile internet for a million inhabitants every other day. especially since the source of interference would be hard to track down.
Now i wonder what that would mean for mobile internet usb peripherals that you can plug into linux laptop and desktop machines. how do they solve this issue?
Rooting the phone means playful nerds could potentially mess up radio frequencies, but they can already do that because they can build radios using readily available electronic components. We already have all kinds of regulations about radio use, and we go after people who actually cause problems.
