The future of internet infrastructure in Wisconsin was up for discussion today. State Senator Jeff Smith joined speakers and community members at the SHIFT coffee house in Eau Claire for a round table on the ‘Internet for All’ initiative.

Opportunity Wisconsin, the group organizing the roundtable, said that in a post pandemic world, it’s essential to have internet access.
