Sounds great and spiffy Jeffy,
I ain't buying it. You just put together a logical practical scenario (albeit a
bit federally lopsided). All I am seeing are sound bites. There has been no
change in cyber governance.
Or to put it another way, I have seen no cyber governance. Perhaps the
intention is to socialize communication systems. Perhaps it is to do nothing.
The sound byte is irrelevant.

All,
To follow up on proposed legislation drafted in the Senate,
it appears that as far as the USG within the government,
the Obama administration is getting off to a strong and
aggressive start. This initiative will likely dovetail the propose
legislation that will expand this new office ( IT security Czar )
and this position will be setting the tone and specifics as to
what levels, types, and to whom/what entities such requirements
will be directly and under color of law, mandate.
I personally see this as a very bold move, that has some worrysome
ramifications, but if pulled off effectively and flexably also has far
reaching and hugely benificial effects across the Internet.
As an FYI, see:

Two officials in the Obama administration confirmed on Friday that the
White House would oversee the coordination of securing networks
governmentwide, identifying more than 250 requirements in an
on-going 60-day review of federal cybersecurity initiatives.
