About
A More Connected Digital Infrastructure for America
The USA Internet is the public-facing national vision and gateway for the USA portion of the Local Internet ecosystem. It is an emerging network concept, not a finished nationwide service — capabilities are described as working demonstrations, pilots or plans until they are connected.
The USA Internet is an independent digital infrastructure initiative. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the United States government.
Clear distinctions
What Each Property Does
The USA Internet is not a technical documentation site, a directory or an independent company. Each property below owns a different role in one architectural family.
| Property | Role |
|---|---|
| The USA Internet | The national public-facing vision, gateway and network story. |
| The USA Stack | The technical and architectural explanation of the national system. |
| The USA Grid | The map of national entities, relationships, properties and network components. |
| The USA Platform | The shared applications and platform capabilities. |
| The USA OS | The operating rules, workflows, permissions and governance. |
| The USA Graph | The structured relationships among organizations, locations, places and content. |
| The USA Surfaces | The national digital destinations that present information to people and machines. |
