Telcos Plan to Sue WiscNet
By John Forester(Don't Use) | July 21, 2011
A group of small telephone companies plan to sue to stop the UW System from providing telecommunication services in Superior, Platteville, Wausau and Chippewa Falls.
The Joint Finance Committee inserted a provision in the state budget that would have ended the WiscNet program, under which the UW System has extended broadband service to various parts of the state. But the provision was rolled back in the final budget to delay that by two years.
The private sector has complained the state encroaches on its territory through the program and that it is illegal.
