SUMMARY
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering a stricter ban on companies accused of using technology from DJI and other brands on its Covered List. This proposal could retroactively ban drones and cameras from nine companies, including those behind Skyrover X1 and Xtra Muse lookalikes. Unlike the current restrictions on DJI, which only prevent new products from entering the US, this potential ban could remove existing products from shelves. The FCC is currently seeking public comment on this proposal, which would be the first time the agency uses its new ability to revoke previously approved devices.
