Wis. PSC Seeks Applications for Telecom Access Grants

The Wisconsin Public Service Commission seeks applications for two telecom affordability programs funded by USF, the PSC said Wednesday. Applications for the $500,000 nonprofit access and $250,000 Lifeline outreach grant programs are due March 1, the PSC said. The first program is for nonprofits to propose affordable access projects for low-income households, people with disabilities and customers in high-cost areas. The programs “are fundamental to the PSC’s mission of ensuring equitable access to telecommunications services for all Wisconsinites,” said Chairperson Rebecca Cameron Valcq.
