On June 13, 2022, the FCC provided notice that the State of Florida has become the 24th state (including the District of Columbia) to certify state-level regulatory jurisdiction over rates, terms, and conditions for pole attachments.
Under the FCC's "reverse preemption" framework for its pole attachment rules, Florida's certification means that, generally, the FCC no longer has jurisdiction to hear pole attachment complaints over matters now regulated by the state.
