"monitoring internal email traffic at the U.S. Treasury Department _and_ an agency that decides internet and telecommunications policy"
That's an interesting way of saying a U.S. organization. Does this mean the NSA? I would have assumed they were talking about the FCC, but why not name them?
- drewpc 6y agoThe article mentions that the other organization is the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
- jroblak 6y agoNo, the NTIA. It was probably described that way because most people wouldn't recognize the agency or acronym.
- xxpor 6y agoFor anyone who's not familiar, the NTIA is basically the FCC for the federal government itself. They allocate spectrum, create policy, etc.
- dmix 6y agoIt’s mentioned further down > Treasury and the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration
