A Secure, Publicly Owned, National Fiber-Optic Infrastructure Network
America's greatest vulnerability to attack isn't on land, at sea, in the air, or in space; the biggest threat is the internet cloud and worldwide web. A fragmented, consumer-grade internet has become a national security risk, leaving critical infrastructure and control systems exposed in an era of cyber warfare and quantum threats.
This Impact Video explores Neo Network's National Broadband Master Plan (NBMP)—a bold, infrastructure-first solution to build a secure, sovereign, and self-sustaining information superhighway within America's existing federal transportation rights-of-way. The message is clear and urgent: America has the assets, the expertise, and the opportunity to act now. The only question is whether we will build what the 21st-century digital future demands before it's too late.
The National Broadband Master Plan (NBMP) is Neo Network Development's immediately actionable, 5-Year plan to digitally overhaul, modernize, secure, and unify America's investment in digital infrastructure by building a vast, Nationwide network of underground conduits, infrastructure, and enough fiber to facilitate a rapid migration away from individual retail internet circuits over to dedicated strands of fiber.
The ideal place to build this new infrastructure is directly alongside the U.S. Interstates, Federal Highways, Federally Funded State and County Roads, where the U.S. Department of Transportation is the lead agency responsible for their safe operation and permissible use.
As a Nation, our overreliance on hundreds of private companies and thousands of individual retail internet circuits is our Achilles heel. Every level of government, military, defense, intelligence, energy, communications, transportation, healthcare, and financial institutions use a consumer-grade internet for everything from sending and receiving email to managing critical control systems, putting life, health, human safety, and sovereignty at risk simply because until now, there has been no other choice.
Upon completion, this new infrastructure and fiber optic core will connect thousands of anchor points, including Federal buildings in every state capital and major U.S. city in all 50 states, our international, national, and regional airports, seaports, and ground transportation hubs, critical utilities, energy production and distribution facilities, military bases and intelligence agencies, essential communications and wire centers.
The plan would also provide the foundational infrastructure needed to interconnect megawatt and edge data centers to capture up to $20 Trillion in private-sector investment in AI, Quantum Computing, Advanced Wireless, and an unlimited array of emerging technologies, including the Golden Dome.
Built almost entirely within existing federal transportation rights-of-way, this sovereign infrastructure and fiber optic core will fortify Homeland Security, harden our Military, intelligence, and National Defense capabilities, and fuel 21st-century digital economic growth.
Strategically routed to interconnect thousands of unserved rural areas and underserved communities, infrastructure access will enable the provisioning of far more affordable internet services for economically disadvantaged communities and the seamless upgrade and overhauling of the public internet itself.
By unifying public taxpayer funds and private sector investment to include all government (public) and commercial business and use cases, the measurable taxpayer savings are so profound, this one infrastructure project is inherently self-sustainable, pays for itself and pays the American taxpayers and ratepayers back while the commercial use with the participation and help of the private sector provides a perpetual source of non-tax revenues needed to fund continued organic growth and expansion of the infrastructure over time.
It is this unique combination of shared ownership, accessibility and use and an actionable plan to leverage the U.S. and State Departments of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration existing resource pool, established supply chain and demonstrated ability to safely build our roads, tunnels and bridges to build the information superhighway consisting of robust and resilient infrastructure at scale and to place the fiber optic cables needed for immediate, emergency Government use.
This new fiber optic core will defend and protect our most vulnerable and critical infrastructure from acts of cyber-terrorism, cyber-warfare, and malicious attack from hostile foreign governments, terrorists, and criminal bad actors, saving countless billions of dollars and preserving the life, health, and human safety of over 336 million Americans.
Ultimately, it is the institutional and industrial experience and commercial subject matter expertise of the private sector owners and operators joining forces to ensure that every incumbent Telecommunications, Fiber Hyperscaler and Internet Service provider is able to build fiber and access electric service 5 to 10 times faster and up to 3 times more cost effectively than would ever be possible building independently owned and operated networks.
For more than three decades, the American taxpayers and ratepayers have involuntarily paid in more than $300 billion in the form of federal tax relief, broadband grants, and temporary and ineffective broadband subsidies, while these programs have been plagued by corruption, inexplicable delays, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, waste, and abuse.
In the midst of a $39 Trillion National Debt Crisis, we can no longer afford, or allow, our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to bear the brunt of prior generations' cataclysmic financial and fiscal mismanagement, and the incompetent and unrestrained taking and spending of public funds, while getting nothing of value in return.
If we are once again forced to borrow against our family's future, we have a fiduciary duty, financial obligation, and social responsibility to invest in infrastructure rather than gifting or spending it all to subsidize an ailing industry incapable, unwilling, or unable to build the fiber America needs in places where it is needed most.
This one major infrastructure investment will secure safety and preserve our families' futures by generating non-tax revenues, so we can finally begin to reduce our spiraling national debt and use the proceeds to pay them all back.
