unserved households and businesses in the state
MADISON – Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) Chairperson Rebecca Cameron Valcq shared the following statement in response to the announcement that the state will receive more than $1 billion under the Broadband Equity, Access & Deployment (BEAD) Program to connect every unserved home and business in the state to internet.
“This funding, along with additional public and private investment, will make it possible to achieve our goal of internet for all.
“At the Public Service Commission, we are committed to ensuring this funding gets to where it is needed as quickly as practicable while maintaining our high standard of transparency and our strong record of being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.
“I want to thank President Biden, Senator Baldwin, Governor Evers and those in the Wisconsin congressional delegation who supported the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and made it possible to connect all in our state.”
