Baldwin, Ernst’s Bipartisan Legislation to Cut Red Tape and Expand Access to Internet in Rural America Passes Senate

Press Release

“Access to high-speed internet is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for Wisconsinites to work, attend school online, run their businesses, manage their farms, and connect with people across the world. For too long, small local providers, often in our rural areas, got caught up in burdensome regulations and it stopped them from reaching more people. My bipartisan bill cuts red tape for our small broadband providers and helps them expand reliable, affordable internet to more families and small businesses across Wisconsin. I worked hard with my Republican colleagues to get this bill passed out of the Senate and now, we are fighting to get it to the president’s desk and deliver for Wisconsin families.”
