(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin’s blueprint for digital equity has been accepted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Wisconsin state AARP director Martha Cranley calls it a game changer for older adults, many of whom lack broadband access. Governor Tony Evers and the Public Service Commission announced the state is eligible for up to $30 million to implement its plan over the next five years.

Cranley says in the next few months the state will provide information for local governments and other entities to apply for funding.
