A recently released policy guide, Project 2025, has garnered attention for its recommendations on technology and national security. Authored by two former Trump administration officials, the guide outlines a framework for addressing perceived threats from China, Russia, and other nations. The report calls for increased surveillance powers, reforms to Section 702 of FISA, and closer cooperation with allied nations in space programs.

The guide also criticizes the Open Technology Fund (OTF) as "wasteful" and recommends funding closed-source technology instead. Additionally, it highlights concerns about undersea cable trunks powering the internet and suggests leveraging shortwave radio capabilities to maintain communication in areas where online traffic is limited or restricted.
