Don't worry CISA and any other involved regulator were gutted by DOGE.

Is that true or you’re just assuming it’s so?
It’s true, and briefly made the news at the time[1]. The CSRB was also decimiated, and the current DHS deputy secretary, in his confirmation hearing, called for wrecking the agency, as he disagrees with their efforts to maintain election security.

I definitely remember DOGE gutting CISA. Other cuts were not always due to DOGE. A good chunk of the FBI's computer security and counter intelligence people got reassigned to immigration enforcement. The committee investigating the US cell network hacks got cut extensively but I don't remember who did it.
telcos already have strong teams themselves who monitor towers.
Regardless China was monitoring everything very easily.
