The National Broadband Plan released by the FCC this week contains several recommendations that are designed to boost the preparedness of communications networks to deal with cyberthreats. The 360-page broadband plan is a blueprint for modernizing the country’s aging communications networks. It calls for closer cooperation between the FCC and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on security matters. One recommendation calls on the FCC to develop a cybersecurity “roadmap” in collaboration with the executive branch. The recommendation gives the FCC 180 days to identify the top five cyber threats facing the communication infrastructure.”]
