Read it again. It says all government networks and any network the president deems vital, I'd have to assume that would at least be all of the major backbones.
What's the point of picking on the source of the information? Sure his list is moderated and a bit self-serving, that's why you read from the source.
And yes, I am aware of a number of activities inside the Fed Gov around secure DNS, while I applaud them for making a first step, an effective total effort will not come via government procurement. Or aren't you aware?

Ignore.I'll just give you a teaser: SEC. 9. SECURE DOMAIN NAME ADDRESSING SYSTEM.There's more than enough government supported work going on that promotes DNSSEC, in case you're not aware?Other pearls of wisdom: the government will license all "cyber" securityfolks and you don't work on government or "any network deemed by the president to be critical infrastructure" without one.Do you by any chance get to go work on sensitive government networks without, say, a security clearance? --srs
