Well.....allow me to reprhase my original comment then. The crime comes with a range of punishments attached to it. One of them is jail time, the others are financial fines. In general I think that yes, jail time fits the crime of jamming critical infrastructure - like, in a general broad sense. You mess with emergency services, the punishment for that is jail. However, the law allows for lesser punishments - and I believe in this case he won't actually go to jail. As far as the article suggests, he wasn't acting maliciously so he will just get a financial fine. But I still think that the option of jail should be there for people who are found to be acting recklessly or maliciously.
