Description

The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (BEAD) in Wisconsin aims to connect the last 8.9 percent of the state's homes and businesses to high-speed internet using fiber-optic cables, wireless, or satellite internet. The program involves dividing the state into units of under-served households, fielding bids from internet companies, and selecting projects based on the lowest overall cost and local government endorsements. The application process was redone following federal changes to the program's rules to promote technology neutrality and cost-effectiveness.
