The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has introduced new cybersecurity measures aimed at safeguarding the nation’s telecommunications infrastructure following high-profile attacks by the Chinese hacking group Salt Typhoon. While the rules aim to bolster security, broadband ISPs—critical to the nation’s connectivity—face mounting challenges, particularly smaller providers with limited resources. Experts say the stakes are too high to ignore, as the industry grapples with escalating costs and tighter oversight.
