    PER CURIAM:
    In Gulf Power Co. v. FCC, 
    208 F.3d 1263
     (11th Cir. 2000), we considered
    an attack on the FCC’s 1998 regulations, Report and Order, 13 F.C.C.R. 6777,
    
    1998 WL 46987
    , promulgated pursuant to the 1996 amendments to the Pole
    Attachment Act, 
    47 U.S.C. § 244
    (f) (Supp. II 1996). We held that the facial

    validity of the rent formula developed by the FCC was not ripe for review, but that
    the FCC lacked statutory authority to regulate the wireless carriers and the
    provision of the Internet service under the 1996 Act. Gulf Power, 
    208 F.3d at 1279
    . The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the latter determination. See
    National Cable & Telecommunications Association, Inc. v. Gulf Power Co.,

    122 S. Ct. 882

    151 L. Ed. 794

    reinstated.
    SO ORDERED.
