BEAD broadband obligations in Wisconsin

Wisconsin BEAD allocation on USAspending

CFDA 11.035 is titled BROADBAND EQUITY, ACCESS, AND DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM. Filtered to Wisconsin place of performance, obligations sum to $1,055,823,574 on 1 award. The national Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program hub includes every state. Wisconsin's spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $1,055,823,574 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs in Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay.

BEAD state allocations typically post as a single large award to the designated state recipient. The join does not name recipients, split the lakeshore and the north woods, or count fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs. Packet facts stop at $1,055,823,574, 1 award, WI, and 11.035. Correlation is not causation.

11.035 is not High Cost USF in Wisconsin

Universal Service Fund High Cost (CFDA 32.002) sits on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $1,055,823,574 would invent a broader total than this 11.035 × WI cell contains. Facts available: Wisconsin, CFDA 11.035, $1,055,823,574, 1 award. Recipient names, subawards, and fiber mile, unserved location, or ISP counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program, not a ranking of Wisconsin outcomes. With one award, the implied mean equals $1,055,823,574. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs.

Wisconsin geography on the BEAD Broadband tag

WI is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay can share the tag. Awards coded to Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, or Iowa stay outside $1,055,823,574 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. A Madison-coded award can still cover north-woods last-mile plans under one WI tag. The code does not convert $1.06 billion into a fiber map.

Wisconsin federal spending is the all-program parent. 11.035 is one row on Wisconsin programs. $1.06 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Wisconsin for the filtered table, CFDA 11.035 for 11.035 without a Wisconsin filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,055,823,574.

Reading 1 award under $1.06 billion

One award under $1,055,823,574 implies a mean of $1,055,823,574. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Draws and reimbursements can lag the federal obligation by years. The figure is still an obligation aggregate, not an outlay. Treat 1 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1 finished BEAD allocation.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,055,823,574 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see whether the row is a continuation, renewal, or correction. Later ingests can restate $1,055,823,574 without changing the join key of 11.035 and WI.

What the BEAD Broadband–Wisconsin pair does not prove

A large 11.035 total tagged to Wisconsin does not measure whether unserved locations fell, and it does not equal miles built. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,055,823,574 on 1 award for Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Wisconsin.

Keep both sides of the join: Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and Wisconsin, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,055,823,574 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1 as a fiber mile, unserved location, or ISP census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a program story.
