Fudge's unease was soon proven right. Wayne Enterprises suddenly announced that Magical Communicators would go on sale worldwide on June 18.
Now, whether at home or abroad, any magical household appliance with projection capabilities would automatically play a brief introduction to the new product when switched on.

Although magical governments around the world had been using them for quite some time, no one had expected them to be officially launched on the market so soon.
Naturally, Fudge wanted to stop the Magical Communicators from going on sale. Even delaying their release would have been good enough.
But the Wizarding World had no commercial laws, and Wayne Enterprises had obtained exclusive operating rights in the mobile communications sector last year. What excuse could the Ministry of Magic possibly use to block it?

Every magical appliance brand without exception used Wayne Enterprises' system. If there really were security risks, no one would escape them.
Suspected privacy leaks?
Magical governments around the world had used them for over half a year. Blatantly targeting them now would only make them a laughingstock abroad.
