Why would this rule exist? This is so insanely stupid and counter-productive! IF a transmitter CAN accept TWO connections and you WANT two connections so that you can have a better quality of life, what stupid rule would be implemented to prevent you from downloading an app?

Honestly…this is just me, but if I fell under this rule, I’d DL the app anyway…is the FBI, FDA or some other government agency tracking your app download history?
