18         (1)  The state actively supports efforts that enhance

19  the information technology industry in Florida, particularly

20  those efforts that increase broadband technology. A critical

22  to be the development of a Network Access Point (NAP), a

23  carrier-neutral public-private Internet traffic exchange

25  businesses to forge partnerships to develop a NAP in Florida.

26  Moreover, the state recognizes the importance of a NAP that

27  addresses the needs of small information technology

28  businesses.

29         (2)  A limitation on development within a development

30  order issued under chapter 380 does not preclude the granting

31  of any local government development approval or development
