SUMMARY
The FCC has opened a public comment period, closing May 11, for feedback on the ban of foreign-made drones, which has significantly impacted American drone pilots and industries. DJI has filed an appeal against its inclusion on the FCC Covered List, and is encouraging US users to share how their drones are essential to their work and lives. The ban affects not only drones but also other DJI products, with a lack of comparable consumer-grade alternatives from US manufacturers creating a significant gap in the market.
