Good questions. As I understand, they spent months to decide who will be responsible and who will pay (and how much). Announce happen after budget passed Parliament, so now could make manning table and hire people for next steps.
Some questions already answered in article - from gov't responsible NIST and FCC and from industry agreed to participate deputies from large companies, so now they will gather meetings and will create some documents.
So now, any interested subject (any human or entity, even "group of hackers") could ask to responsible. Or could talk with deputies, as their contacts should appear soon.
