[sbe-eas] NTCA NPR ACA and NAB joint ex-parte on EAS cybersecurity

[Sean Donelan]

What is the probability that the same groups will tell CISA that it
should defer to FCC, because FCC already regulates EAS.

Age-old lobbying trick of playing different agencies against each other, 
i.e. look at the bitcoin folks last year with SEC, FDIC, FTC, etc.

Question is when will CISA, FEMA and FCC talk ("coordinate") with each 
other.
