Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
Virtu Broadband, LLC, ("Virtu") applied for a Certificate of Authority to provide
telecommunications service, pursuant to Section 364.335, Florida Statutes (F .S.). 	Upon review
of the application, it appears that Virtu has sufficient technical, financial, a nd managerial
capability to provide such service. 	Accordingly, we hereby grant to Virtu Certificate of
Authority No. 	8991, 	which 	shall 	authorize 	Virtu 	to 	provide 	telecommunications 	service
throughout the State of Florida.
Telecommunications 	service 	providers are 	required 	to 	comply 	with 	a ll 	applicable
provisions of Chapter 364, F.S., and Chapter 25-4, F.A.C.
In addition, under Section 364.336, F.S., certificate holders must pay a minimum annual
Regulatory Assessment Fee (RAF) if the certificate was active during any portion of the calendar
year. A RAF Return notice will be mailed each December to Virtu for payment by January 30th.
Neither the cancellation of its certificate nor the failure to receive a RAF Return notice sha ll
relieve Virtu from its obligation to pay its RAF .
