Nearly $9 million in borrowed federal dollars and investment from local businesses and government will go toward expanding broadband Internet access in the Madison, Middleton and Monona areas, Gov. Jim Doyle announced Wednesday. Funding for the work is coming from a $5.1 million grant through the federal stimulus act and $3.7 million from local city and school district coffers; UW-Madison; Dane County; Xiocom Wireless, which operates MadCity Broadband; and others.
