Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 51791 covers resellers and specialized service providers that do not own or operate their own telecommunications networks. Resellers purchase network capacity from carriers and resell telecommunications services to end users, distinguishing them from wired and wireless telecommunications carriers, which operate their own infrastructure. Providers of specialized services like satellite tracking and communications telemetry, as well as those offering internet access or VoIP services over client-supplied connections, also fall within this code. Satellite terminal station operators that connect to terrestrial systems are classified here rather than in satellite telecommunications, which covers establishments that own and operate satellites and their associated ground facilities.
