"bold plan"?

Can you help me find the exact meaning of "bold" in the below headline of a press release?

"The telcos’ bold plan to win the war for the connected home against cable"

ps: another unrelated and secondary question what's the difference if any between press release and press clipping?

Hello V. I would read 'bold' in this context as [involving risks+innovative]. 'Bold' really describes those who devised the plan; the epithet has been transferred to the noun.
