B. Filtering Software and Services

Q1. My telecommunications services provider makes available a scanning service that can protect my sites from viruses and/or provide additional security measures. Is this eligible?

No. The FCC defines telecommunications as "the transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user’s choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received." Since the scanning service does not fall within this definition, SLD could not find it eligible in the Telecommunications Services category of service.
