Todd County: on bottom 10 list for broadband
Todd County saw some improvement to broadband coverage but they are still at the bottom of the ranking, which is why they retain Red status.
At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 2,378 locations in Todd County. Some locations will get fiber, more locations will get satellite or fixed wireless connection, 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. (Todd has benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems hopeful for them as well.)
Statewide, there have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty.
