> "There are cybersecurity concerns. That's what we're being told."
Let's try to make sense of that.
1) the cybersecurity talent from DoD and USG is so decimated it can't
field a response to whatever this concern is or
2) the DoD has the talent to resolve whatever this concern is and they
are deliberately leaving this concern in place or
3) the DoD is lying about a cybersecurity issue being the reason
that they're withholding lifesaving data (from benefiting
the public that paid for it).
Fourth option: a cyber company that could potentially sell weather forecast data is loosing it's financial security because NOAA gives it away for free.
Okay and then what? There's already huge issues with getting home insurance in places like Florida, what will they do, force companies to offer it against their will and see them go broke? Convince people that insurance is woke? There are real problems that aren't going away, regardless of their beliefs.
The thinking is they will offer it at a high enough cost that they don't go broke. The problem is a lot of consumers, if not most, would be fine reading street signs or using mapquest.
Anyone know what that's about?
