Roughly 650,000 residents lack the infrastructure needed to deliver what the Federal Communications Commission considers high-speed internet (25 megabits per second downloads and 3 Mbps uploads), according to the Wisconsin Broadband Office.

Billions of dollars in federal assistance could help bring high-speed Internet service to thousands of Wisconsin households, according to a new report, but not without continued help and funding from the state.

Plus, the FCC authorizes $313 million more through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, Maine creates a web page to track broadband work in the state, government agencies look to hire digital inclusion staff, and more.
