Description

Description	A set of 128 broadband internet service extension projects across all 72 counties in Wisconsin, supported by a $42.5 billion federal grant program called Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD). These projects aim to provide high-speed fiber optic broadband to nearly 175,000 homes and businesses, leveraging $696.6 million in BEAD awards and $397.5 million in private support. The projects face delays and cost increases due to a nationwide shortage of fiber-optic cable caused by a data center building boom and federal domestic sourcing requirements.
