From the moment you wake up in the morning and check your email over coffee, to the time you spend on the computer at work—the internet is ubiquitous in most people’s lives.  It’s an important part of both personal and professional worlds, and, that being so, it is essential that the speed of broadband be available to all.

While some parts of the state have broadband access, there are still many areas of Wisconsin without it.  At Wired Wisconsin, we will keep pushing this important issue to the forefront.   We believe that expanding broadband access will create economic growth (including jobs!) and help individuals connect.

 The FCC is required to deliver a national broadband deployment  plan to congress by February 17; however, they are currently seeking a month-long extension to complete the plan.  We are eager to see more action taken on a national level to increase broadband, but, seeing those delays, we also understand that it is important to keep forging ahead statewide.  We need public-private partnerships to bring broadband to rural Wisconsin communities. 

 Even though it can be a struggle, we hope you’ll join us in continuing the fight to provide broadband to all Wisconsinites.
