Support applies to monthly telecommunications service charges and installation charges, but not terminal equipment costs. These highly technical aspects of telecommunications are critical to financial success in rural areas. Internet providers such as AOL or Erols are not part of the agreement and thus are not eligible for the program in any form. Service must be provided by a telecommunications company.
All telecommunications carriers are eligible.
Support is also available for limited long distance charges for accessing the Internet. Texas rural health providers are strongly encouraged to check out this unique opportunity for financial support for telecommunications services. It is an opportunity worth the time and effort.
