I haven't researched it fully but to me it seemed like a utopia.. For the device makers, and dystopia for the customer.

Imagine all your wireless IoT except you can't block them or filter from the wifi network, they are always connected and you can't see what data they're sending.

Don't buy them then? It's not like you can control most IoT today

Hopefully that remains an option. I look at it like Smart TVs today. It's pretty much impossible to buy a TV that is not smart. If IoT takes off this will become the case with many other things imho.

Faraday cage houses will become a thing.

Or 5G sniffers/detectors, to wave around your supposedly-non-5G smart appliance.

There are a TON of TVs that aren't smart. Where do you get the idea that it is impossible to buy one?

> Don't buy them then?

Tech doesn't work like that. Good look buying a high end "dumb" tv or a high end smartphone with a jack 3.5. It always starts with "don't buy them" until there is no choice anymore.
