Wisconsin is still a patchwork quilt of have's and have-nots when it comes to broadband internet technology. There are several parts of Wisconsin, especially rural areas in northern parts of the state, that have inadequate internet or no access to high-speed internet at all. Wisconsin needs to do a much better job of creating a stronger broadband infrastructure. The Internet is not a luxury. It's a necessary utility in today's society, just like heat and electricity. Without a strong internet, people will leave Wisconsin for other states. Leslie Spencer-Herrara is part of a committee looking at high-speed internet. She speaks with Pam Jahnke about about problems and solutions, and also the Affordable Connectivity Program, which offers internet for $30 a month for those who can't afford it. The program will run out of money soon unless Congress takes action. She explains why this is important.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New tech innovations usually spur a wave of companies competing to win patents for their inventions. But with budding blockchain technology, the decision to patent isn’t always easy. Blockchain was first created as the underpinning technology to crypocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, which use code that is free and open to anyone.
