According to a recent story in the Fond du Lac Reporter, Fond Du Lac County is on the road to becoming completely wireless-capable, putting the region in elite company nationally. Earlier this month, county officials inked a deal with Dotnet, a local internet service provider, to lead the project.

As part of the agreement, Dotnet, based in Fond du Lac County, has access to six county radio towers in exchange for construction of high-speed wireless infrastructure. Fond du Lac County government is being provided the service at no cost, while citizens and businesses will have to contract with Dotnet to utilize the service.

County officials hope the wireless system will serve as a selling point for the region. Cost for Fond du Lac county residents will range from $29.95 to $45.95, depending on the speed of the service.

The advent of the internet has changed almost every aspect of our lives – from how we are now able to get instantaneous information, to connecting with people around the world. Wired Wisconsin believes that the capabilities of the internet are far from being fully utilized; thus, a competitive environment which fosters further technology development is in everyone’s best interest. Continued innovation will result in better products and services from which each consumer and business will have their choice.
