You would think by now the US would have dumped some millions into developing some proprietary network protocols for the "kill the earth" button they've developed? Is it so naive to imagine there are tech firms who could/would lobby for a no bid contract to do it? I'm not an expert but I think there are some interests aligned there. If Trump has enough political capital to push plans forward to overhaul everything, this doesn't seem that far fetched.
