Dodge County: steady progress has stalled
Dodge County broadband coverage has been stagnant at 88 percent for several years.
At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 94 locations in Dodge County. However, all the locations will get a satellite, which does not qualify as served in the MN statute.
There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Dakota has benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems hopeful for them as well.) Statewide here have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty.
Dodge County retains their yellow status due to stagnation and little prospects from the potential BEAD funding.
