In a filing at the Federal Communications Commission in reply to questions about broadband's role in public safety, homeland security, and cybersecurity, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the lobbying arm of the cable industry, says cable operators have implemented cybersecurity measures. The organization suggests the FCC should incorporate into the national broadband plan ongoing public-private initiatives aimed at securing the nation's digital infrastructure from growing cyber threats. And it should promote policies that foster the development and deployment of innovative applications and tools to improve cybersecurity and address
burgeoning threats to consumers.
