Link to December 20 Wausau Daily Herald article.Excerpt: More than 42 percent of Marathon County households do not have access to high-speed Internet because dead zones surround the Wausau area, according to a study of county broadband capacity.
Among more than 500 respondents in a survey of households, 132 had no Internet at all -- some of them by choice. But the survey and other elements of the study document widespread challenges to access.
Officials who think the county should help to improve local Internet connections say the survey demonstrates that lack of access among people and businesses limits economic development.
