I've read through the relevant sections as the act would potentially
affect me (I work for a major US backbone provider). This is real if
the act in question passes, it's a thoroughly horrible little bit of
legislation. The reality is that if any President chose to exercise
said power under anything less than a major emergency they would find
themselves impeached rather quickly. Massive disruptions of
communication systems are one thing the population of the US would not
stand for. And under a major emergnecy the President effectively
already has the power to shut down the Internet.

So awful legislation, shouldn't be passed, this portion wouldn't have
a significant effect in reality, but other bits would.
