   This is a good step forward. It’s been my experience that infrastructure operators are more concerned with legal issues than with technical ones. Why? Because, for the most part, they’re run by fungible management teams that are focused on the next three months and consequently, there is no long term planning that could possibly create a context for security issues. And, to the politicians who whine about unilateral action: this issue is so important for our nation’s security that we can’t allow it to be used for political leverage by the “party of no”.

   I’m disappointed that we wait this long for a moment of clarity. Hopefully, we’ll see some action.

   The ONLY REAL security from cyber-attacks, is to move all critical networks OFF of the public
   backbone. The U.S. Government in conjuction with AT&T and other common carriers, and all
   private concerns with critical systems that control key elements of the nations infrastructure must
   work together to build a isolated network backbone with NO connections to the public backbone.
   This means that key personnel cannot ‘work remotely’ from home, but must signon within a
   secure facility.
   An additional level of security can be had by only purchasing mid-range and desktop systems that
   are wholly manufactured in the United States, this would include ALL sub-assemblies and components.

   Right, we’ve gone in under 20 years from there is no QOS on the internet to government mandated concern and regulations about buisness that is running on what was built as an open platform. It was the migration to allowing and supporting “for profit” buisness on the internet that was and is the large impetus for hacking opportunityies.

   If a company makes profit from their “internet” connection, why do I have to expend $ or concern about it. If a company wants secure communications, let them pay for the haul, from source to destination. Let the great unwashed user population have back their mostly free rein of the internet once again. Im sure the telecom companies would support that….
