Actually, that would be interesting... Passing some sort of funding bill for the defense of US companies against DDoS attacks might be the only immediate option that could be done on a short time frame. Otherwise, it could (potentially) be something like the government holding on to spare capacity in some way/shape/form that it leases to affected companies for a very low rate. As we move on further into the 21st century, I can't see this as something that's going to go away. We definitely need to plan ahead.
