Cyber Command To Gobble Up DISA?

That's the word I'm picking up based on a combination of some good intel and speculation by more than a handful of knowledgeable gadget and gizmo graybeards.

It would make sense for Cyber Command -- charged with network defense and attack -- to take over the Defense Information Systems Agency, which operates Defense global networks.

But for this deal to happen, the newly formed Cyber Command would have to get acquisition authority from Congress, which DISA and the Cyber Command lacks, and probably will not happen overnight.

I also hear that once again Cyber Command has its eyes on DISA's spiffy new HQ at Fort Meade in Maryland. Yeah, the building is larger than what Cyber Command needs, but tell me of any Defense outfit that has shrunk lately.
