On Tuesday, June 8, I was the interview guest on WCHW, “Cyberhood Watch,” radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah. The one-hour live weekly show discusses the Internet security issues of the day relating to your children, families, homes, PC’s and mobile communication devices for our cyber smart generation.
During my interview, I highlighted the consumer issues that revolve around online safety and security and the shared responsibility of users and their Internet Service Providers in maintaining the integrity of the network. While some are aware of steps to take to keep their own network secure, we often don’t consider the impact on our actions have on the entire network. Behind the scenes, ISP’s are managing the network to help keep its users safe from malicious hackers, viruses, and other harms.
Radio hosts Dave Ballard & Bill Wardell were also interested in the latest policy initiatives that impact online users. We discussed the current and upcoming federal policy actions including the National Broadband Plan, recent Comcast court decision, and Congressional interest in the future of broadband. It’s clear we are at a pivotal point in the evolution of new technologies and all policymakers need to tread carefully to ensure the best possible policies for consumers and the industry they rely on to provide their services. Congress will clearly need to play a role in these difficult decisions.
