OPINION For the past two years we’ve heard stories of farmers and ranchers unable to access the precision-agricultural tools needed to compete in the global marketplace, parents driving their children miles to access the nearest public Wi-Fi hotspots, individuals unable to apply for or receive critical government services online, and senior citizens having limited access to important telehealth and telemedicine options during a deadly pandemic. Unfortunately for anywhere between 394,000 and 670,000 Wisconsinites those stories remain a potential reality.
