You can achieve the same effect without all the arbitrary political decision-making inherent in this proposal by requiring these companies to buy delivery insurance or something. The insurance company will charge them proportionally to the risk of attack, which will internalize the cost.

Like AIG insuring investments during the 2008 crisis? I think for critical infra you want some extra care and redundancy (not arbitrary though of course).
