Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Wednesday announced the launch of a new online map that provides residents with a detailed look at the availability of high-speed internet in their state.
The Arkansas State Broadband Map is designed to help residents pinpoint broadband providers throughout the state and aid state agencies in developing broadband programs. Users can toggle through several filters that change the map’s appearance, including layers for internet speed, number of providers and service availability. Users can also enter an address to view nearby broadband availability.
In his announcement, Hutchinson said the new map puts Arkansas “on the cutting edge of broadband mapping.”

WISCONSIN - There is cacophony of sound surrounding the goal of providing broadband internet access in rural Wisconsin and its ability to spur economic development. However, the amount of action in pursuit of this goal tends to be quite a bit less than the sound.
Scores of state elected official and study groups across the political spectrum strongly support enhanced access to broadband internet-particularly in unserved and underserved rural areas. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased need for ‘virtual education’ and ‘working from home’ the problem of lack of broadband access in rural Wisconsin was driven home.
