Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks

Radio frequency licensing issues. Fairphone didn't feel they had enough market interest in America to go through the FCC approvals. Murena, however, believed there was enough interest and went through the process, hence why Fairphone still isn't selling any phones in the US, but Murena is selling a Fairphone in the US

Oh I see, didn't think you had to get through that much trouble to enable the US market! Thanks a lot!
