• The Internet & Television Association wants the FCC to ease up on EAS s

    From The Telecom Digest@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 30 19:07:30 2023
    On April 4, 2023, Radhika Bhat, Loretta Polk, and Andy Scott of NCTA –
    The Internet & Television Association, Maureen O’Connell of Charter,
    Brian Josef and Catherine Fox of Comcast, and Nneka Adibe of Cox spoke
    with Debra Jordan, Nicole McGinnis, Austin Randazzo, Erika Olsen,
    James Wiley, Steven Carpenter, Minsoo Kim, and James Zigouris of the
    Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau regarding the above
    referenced proceeding.1 Mses. Bhat, Polk, O’Connell, Fox, and Adibe
    and Mr. Josef also met on April 4th with Hannah Lepow, Legal Advisor
    to Commissioner Starks; on April 5th with Marco Peraza, Legal Advisor
    to Commissioner Simington; and on April 6 th with Umair Javed, Chief
    Counsel to Chairwoman Rosenworcel.

    NCTA explained that network security is a core business imperative for
    cable operators and that our members develop and implement
    leading-edge cybersecurity best practices, tools, and risk management
    plans in the normal course of business, including with respect to
    EAS.2 Accordingly, a requirement for EAS Participants to develop
    EAS-specific cyber risk management plans is unlikely to result in
    additional security improvements for NCTA’s members. Should the
    Commission have concerns about other EAS Participants, education
    efforts regarding basic cybersecurity hygiene would help these
    entities gain the knowledge and tools necessary to implement
    cybersecurity measures.
