Wisconsin State Telecommunications Foundation - Scholarship Availability: https://wsta.info/scholarships

Just a question, Is it correct to assume that the NWTC students would need a certain level of English language proficiency to complete the various online courses?

Thank you for letting us present today.

One thing missing from that list was affordable housing.

A very important point, Rep. Meyers!

Would it make sense for DWD to develop a broadband technician pathway in their Youth Apprenticeship program? https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/apprenticeship/ya/programs.htm

So many questions…

Is availability information from WISER going to be incorporated in the state challenge or does the public need to report that separately?

Is there any marketing materials we should be sharing about the FCC challenge?

Brittany, use this toolkit: https://www.fcc.gov/national-broadband-map-outreach-toolkit

Know this is to challenge availability - do you know if there will be an opportunity to challenge speeds in the future?

Im here!!

Barbara, based on what we know right now, FCC is accepting that speed/performance data but isn't directly using it to update the map. As I understand it, in the medium/long term, they will use speed test data to identify areas where more scrutiny should be put on providers reporting advertised speeds.

Thanks for the response @Rory!
