Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications)
Japanese term or phrase: 中継事業者
Hi,

I have come across this term in a telecom company's service agreement. I have found this page on the Japanese wikipedia:

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/中継電話

I am guessing that 中継事業者 is a provider of 中継電話 services, but do not know the corresponding term in English.

Any help would be appreciated!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you! I eventually opted for trunking as I was afraid that "relay" may suggest a different service, as you have pointed out yourself.
