NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION
ORDER GRANTING CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY
BY THE COMMISSION:
NOTICE 	is 	hereby 	given by 	the 	Florida 	Public 	Service Commission 	that 	the 	action
discussed herein 	is preliminary 	in nature and will become 	final unless a person whose 	interests
are 	substantially 	affected 	files a petition 	for a formal proceeding, pursuant 	to Rule 	25-22.029,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
i3 Broadband, LLC 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 	i3 	has 	sufficient 	technical, 	financial, 	and managerial 	capability 	to 	provide 	such
service. 	Accordingly, we 	hereby 	grant 	to 	i3 	Certificate 	of Authority No. 	9013, 	which 	shall
authorize i3 	to provide telecommunications service throughout the State of Florida.
Telecommunications 	service 	providers 	are 	required 	to 	comply 	with 	all 	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 	i3 	for payment by January 	30th.
Neither 	the 	cancellation of 	its 	certificate nor 	the 	failure 	to 	receive 	a RAF 	Return 	notice 	shall
relieve 	i3 from 	its obligation to pay 	its RAF.
