Mosaic Telecom Will Use Funds To Expand High-Speed Internet Across Several Communities
People living in Cameron, Dallas and Ridgeland can expect access to faster internet within the next several years.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development recently awarded a roughly $21 million loan to a telecom company for a broadband expansion project in rural northwestern Wisconsin.

Ken Notes: I still think we are getting into bed with the wrong companies.

We need a state wide plan and the leadership and a negotiator to get this done.
