I said it would be the last summary report, but an important correction.

FCC found a problem with the data statistics:

[NOTE:  The number of cable systems and wireline subscribers out of 
service is reduced significantly from yesterday because, in addition to 
removing from the total states/territories deactivated in DIRS, the FCC 
found that one or more providers had previously filed multiple entries, 
resulting in double/triple counting number of subscribers and inaccurate 
percentages per day.  Those duplicative entries have now been removed.]


There are at least 1,691,484 subscribers out of service in the affected 
areas in Florida, down from 8,258,789.
