The Governor’s Task Force on Broadband Access is pushing for more state funding to expand broadband in Wisconsin, arguing “federal funds alone won’t solve internet access issues” for state residents.
The task force on Friday issued its fourth annual report, providing an update for ongoing state efforts around improving internet access as well as preparations for the more than $1 billion Wisconsin is receiving through the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program, or BEAD.
Starting next year, competitive BEAD subgrants will be awarded under the program’s timeline at the state Public Service Commission website.
