I think banning vpns like several borderline dictatorships have is still a little far fetched. This would have a negative impact on companies who use them who are the ones that tell congress what to do. Although they could always make it so that large corporations can get certain exceptions and legally using a vpn is just a matter of how much money they fork over to the fcc for a license or something.
It’s currently illegal to transmit encrypted data over most non-2.4Ghz radio frequencies unless you’re a telecommunication company. No one even cares enough to get mad about this. I imagine they’d eventually reuse whatever playbook they used to accomplish this.
Telecommunication companies have special licensing that allows them to offer mobile data without following all the same rules they would otherwise have to follow if they used different frequencies. Cell phone network data isn’t regulated the same as other frequencies.
If you wirelessly access an SSL website over an amateur packet radio system, you are breaking the law. Almost no one ever does this but it’s still bullshit that it’s not allowed.
How long until VPNs are banned

So if I use my cell network to visit SSL website I’m breaking the law?

Good luck. This would be a tough one to enforce.
