InfraCo Seeks DOT Meeting to Pitch $125 Billion Closed National Fiber Network

InfraCo, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, has scheduled a meeting with the Department of Transportation the week after June 27, 2026, to propose the $125 billion President Donald J. Trump Digital Security and Information Superhighway Act. The legislation would establish a publicly owned domestic fiber-optic system known as the National Broadband Master Plan.

Vince Aragona, founder of Neo Network Development LLC, the parent company of InfraCo, said the project would place conduit pipes and fiber-optic cables alongside the U.S. interstate system. The cables would function as dark fiber available for later use by public or private entities.

The plan calls for 47,000 cast-concrete access points every mile, each equipped with a power meter, transformer, and aboveground vertical pole. Aragona stated on June 27, 2026, that the system would operate on an accelerated five-year timetable and involve the departments of Defense, State, Commerce, Transportation, Energy, and Interior, along with the Federal Highway Administration and the FCC.

Digital infrastructure into a closed loop. "We’ve got everything connected to the public internet, right? And that includes 195 foreign countries, 5.6 billion people, you know, in any one of them with a laptop and a decent internet connection could theoretically attack us from any place on earth," Aragona said.

Bradford Higgins, former State Department chief financial officer and Neo Network Board Chairman, noted that China completed a 2,000-kilometer fiber-based quantum secure communication backbone in 2017 and later expanded it to 10,000 kilometers covering 17 provinces and 80 cities.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence 2026 threat assessment and earlier reports from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and other agencies documented ongoing cyber threats from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and ransomware groups.
