GREEN BAY — Bug Tussel Wireless, LLC, a subsidiary of Hilbert Communications, LLC, has announced a Distance Learning Program for the 2020-21 school year. This program offers a discount to students, schools and educators in Bug Tussel service areas to help offset the impact of the COVID-19 school closures and to provide broader access to alternative learning.
