This is somewhat notable because Florida is one of several state with laws that present roadblocks for municipal broadband efforts in the US.

From [1]:

> Florida state laws impose “ad valorem” taxes on municipal broadband networks, but does not impose such taxes on other public utilities or services sold to the public. The state laws generally subject municipalities to restrictions on capital-intensive initiatives that make broadband projects difficult to begin. The statutes require municipalities to hold at least two public hearings, during which local officials must offer a roadmap to profitability within four years — making nearly any citywide municipal broadband proposal unfeasible.

I'm wondering if the fact that they're leveraging the co-op's power grid to do the build-out helps them get around this.
