"The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission wants to expand its authority to telecommunications and influence where cellular phone towers and the fiber-optic lines carrying Internet and e-mail should be located. If the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission adopts a telecommunications plan, the agency would recommend locations for the towers and how to extend high-speed data and video transmission and Internet access, known as broadband services, to all municipalities and businesses in the region."
