Interesting. I'm not sure if the public comment period is over (The original proposal is dated August, 2023), but this stands out to me from their paper:
We propose to focus the scope of our program on intentional radiators that generate and emit RF energy by radiation or induction.31 Such devices – if exploited by a vulnerability – could be manipulated to generate and emit RF energy to cause harmful interference. While we observe that any IoT device may emit RF energy (whether intentionally, incidentally, or unintentionally), in the case of incidental and unintentional radiators, the RF energy emitted because of exploitation may not be enough to be likely to cause harmful interference to radio transmissions.
I guess it is the FCC so this makes sense from their point of view. From my perspective, I'd like to see marks indicating:
* If the devices can be pointed to an alternate API provider if the company stops supporting
* If firmware has been escrowed / will be made available if the company stops supporting
* If device data is stored by the company
* If that data is certified as end to end encrypted
* Some marks for who / how the data is used
