Wisconsin Residents Can Save $50 On Broadband Bills

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin says about a half-million residents will benefit from an F-C-C initiative backing internet service.  The Emergency Broadband Benefit could mean 50-dollars-a-month to people living in the state’s rural areas.  The pandemic amplified broadband issues in underserved areas of Wisconsin.  A commission spokesperson says it gets a lot of calls from people who are struggling to pay their internet bill – or who have run out of data for the month.  People in tribal areas are actually eligible for up to 75-dollars off their bill.  The program is called a step in the right direction, but just a temporary fix to an existing problem.  Funding will stop six months after federal health officials declare the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
