It's not a ruling, the FCC ~~was ordered~~ decided that they're not going to certify any new foreign made home routing equipment. No certification means the radios won't be legal for consumers to operate
This isn't a law or judicial ruling, it's policy
The FCC is a commission that decides things. It’s a ruling in every sense of the word. And they can be sued for really anything. Here the fcc is getting sued for approving something. https://www.freepress.net/news/public-interest-coalition-sues-fcc-unlawful-approval-largest-broadcast-merger-history
I mean, you can sue pretty much anyone for anything, but fair... It is technically a ruling
It's still just a policy though, which means it's easy to change or to do unofficially if the courts reject it (which seems unlikely right now, but I'd love to see it happen)
