Which code does this activity belong in?
Telecommunications resellers purchase network access from carriers and resell wired or wireless telecommunications services to end users, without operating their own transmission infrastructure; this includes mobile virtual network operators. The boundary with All Other Telecommunications lies in the nature of the service: resellers focus exclusively on purchasing and reselling standard telecommunications access, while All Other Telecommunications covers specialized services such as satellite tracking, radar station operation, satellite terminal stations, Internet access via client-supplied connections, and VoIP services via client-supplied connections.
