The implementation of broadband into Wisconsin communities has been a multi-year effort. Alyssa Kenney, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission Director of Broadband and Digital Equity, says that when covid hit that expedited the process. Currently there are only 450,000 locations in the state without broadband and 250,000 of those locations are currently in the process of getting it. The federal program that helps fund these broadband projects has not been impacted at all due to the need for people to be connected. By the end Kenney hopes everyone has access to good high-speed internet.
