    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing changes to its rules about how radiofrequency (RF) devices are marketed and imported into the United States. The aim is to allow manufacturers to better understand consumer interest and prepare for new product launches by permitting some conditional sales before a device is fully authorized. These updates would help align FCC processes with modern consumer behaviors like pre-ordering and shorten the time it takes to introduce innovative devices to the market. The proposal also emphasizes that devices must still comply with FCC rules before being delivered to consumers to prevent potential harm from unauthorized devices.
