Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 517919 covers establishments providing specialized telecommunications services or operating satellite-connected facilities, as well as Internet and VoIP providers that rely on client-supplied telecommunications connections. The distinction from NAICS 517911 turns on the nature of the service: telecommunications resellers purchase network capacity and resell standard wired or wireless telecommunications services to end customers, whereas NAICS 517919 encompasses specialized technical services like satellite tracking and radar operation, plus Internet and VoIP providers using infrastructure supplied by their clients rather than network capacity they have purchased.
