Could or should the president have the same power over the Internet in a digital disaster?

If hackers take over a nuclear plant's control system, should the president order the computer networks shut down? If there's a terrorist attack, should the government knock users off other computer networks to ensure that critical systems stay online? And should the government be able to dictate who companies can hire and what they must do to secure the networks that affect Americans' daily life.

Government officials say the U.S. must improve efforts to share information about cyberthreats with private industry. They also want companies to ensure they are using secure software and hiring qualified workers to run critical systems.

... critical and classified/compartimented systems ...
... should have never been on the internet in the first place ...
... the responsibility of this potential disaster is into poor choices ...
... made by utility, mass transit and other companies and agencies ...
... shutting down the internet will make "any" crisis worse ...
... benefitting the attackers and paralyzing the nation ...
... this category of systems requires a military grade quantum optical federal network ...
... and should run on government owned software ...
... certified for security compliance and compiled from source ...
... non accessible from the internet ...
... here a project for the DOD and the Army Corps of engineers and Signal Corps ...
