Certainly, there would be real world consequences that would make it hard to keep pace with the developments of technology and the sector. That is one of the considerations in the current regulatory sphere we're dealing with, where the SIA does not come into play in regulating under the telecom act and the radiocom act.
This would have implications for urgent situations where we'd be working around that, but also for important circumstances like dealing with high-risk vendor equipment, which does not necessarily have an emergency context but does have real-world considerations for dealing with our allies and coordinating continental telecommunications infrastructure.
