Re: Should FCC look at SS7 vulnerabilities or BGP vulnerabilities

Just because they were presented with the information doesn't mean they understand. 
Just because they understand doesn't mean they execute based on that information.

The FCC organised several sessions (private and public) where they 
invited knowledgeable people from this community to help edifice them on 
what BGP is and what risks exist.

FCC staff attended NANOG & IETF meetings to further explore and discuss 
the problem space in the hallway track. If anything, I think the FCC 
made a proper effort to connect with various stakeholders and learn from 
them.
