Oconto County taskforce affirms broadband vision of 100/20 Mbps for all residents and businesses
Summary
The Broadband Taskforce stated a vision that all Oconto County residents and businesses should have equitable access to affordable internet at a minimum of 100 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up, establishing a planning benchmark for BEAD activities.
The Broadband Taskforce formally presented a Statement of Vision during its Jan. 16, 2025 meeting: "All residents and businesses in Oconto County will have equitable access to affordable internet with a minimum of 100 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up speeds." The statement appears in the meeting minutes as the taskforce's guiding service benchmark.
The vision sets a specific speed target the taskforce will use when evaluating projects and grant applications tied to BEAD planning. The minutes do not assign responsibility for implementation to a particular department or provide a funding source; they record the vision as a committee-level statement of goals rather than an adopted ordinance or funding commitment.
Members present included David Behrend (Chair), Jayme Sellen (TEDCOR executive director), Dennis Kroll, Mike Beyer and others. The minutes do not record follow-up assignments tied directly to achieving the speed benchmark; subsequent agenda items addressed project-unit endorsements and scheduling.
