Company executives cite national security fears, but experts say a new network ‘only gets you so far’
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2026 — A nonprofit group is proposing a second federally funded broadband deployment to protect American national security.
InfraCo, a 501(c)4 nonprofit, will meet with the Department of Transportation next week to propose the $125 billion President Donald J. Trump Digital Security and Information Superhighway Act, which will build a national closed-loop fiber optic system theoretically less vulnerable to foreign adversaries.
