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.).

CNS Networks LLC (“CNS”) 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 CNS has sufficient technical, financial, and managerial
capability to provide such service. Accordingly, we hereby grant to CNS Certificate of
Authority No. 8982, which shall authorize CNS 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 CNS for payment by January 30th.
Neither the cancellation of its certificate nor the failure to receive a RAF Return notice shall
relieve CNS from its obligation to pay its RAF.
