FCC SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT ON NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN

Comments Due:  September 23, 2010

"...the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) seeks public comment on the creation of a Cybersecurity Roadmap to identify vulnerabilities to communications networks or end-users and to develop countermeasures and solutions in preparation for, and response to, cyber threats and attacks in coordination with federal partners.  The FCC’s Cybersecurity Roadmap was recommended as an initial step forward in the area of cybersecurity as part of the Commission’s National Broadband Plan (NBP)...

"...commenters could offer responses to: What are the most vital cybersecurity vulnerabilities for communications networks or users?  How can these vulnerabilities be addressed?  What role should the Commission play in addressing them?  What steps should the Commission take, if any, to remediate them?  If the FCC does not play a role in addressing these vulnerabilities and problems, what agency or entity would fulfill that role?  How should the Commission coordinate its efforts with other agencies of government?"
