In general WTA's advocacy focused on ensuring strong liability protections be in place for small companies that share or receive cyber threat information with other entities and the government and that such protections can serve as an incentive for more small companies to participate in the information sharing process. WTA also stressed the importance of legislation not placing any additional burdens on small telecommunications providers beyond those already established in the Communications Act and applicable FCC rules (i.e., CPNI rules and other customer-related information).
