Directs the Commerce Department’s Assistant Secretary to deliver, within one year, a comprehensive report to two Congressional committees on the cybersecurity and vulnerabilities of mobile service networks and devices. It must assess risks from hackers and foreign adversaries and explain how providers handle weaknesses, how consumers make choices, the use of encryption and authentication, and issues related to cell‑site simulators. The report must consult relevant experts and agencies, exclude 5G from scope, and be prepared in both public and classified forms. Sensitive or exploitable details must be redacted in the public version while still giving Congress and the public useful insights to guide policy and security improvements.
Submit a report examining the cybersecurity of mobile service networks and the vulnerability of such networks and mobile devices to cyberattacks and surveillance by adversaries to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee not later than 1 year after enactment.
