Are ISP operational expenses, such as increased bandwidth and increased customer service requirements, eligible?
Operational expenses associated with the installation or expansion of the infrastructure, such as increased bandwidth, are eligible, but only for the incremental portion associated with the Broadband Canada project. The application must clearly demonstrate the incremental costs of the new initiative over the existing network and service, and would be limited to the life of project, ending no later than December 31, 2011. Other operational expenses, such as customer service, would not be eligible. Maintenance costs, and other operational costs such as customer service, would not be eligible.
