Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / telecom networks
Norwegian term or phrase: bærertjenester
is this "bearer services" or "carrier services"?
And what is the difference?
wiki for bearer services:
In telecommunications, Bearer Service or data service is a service that allows transmission of information signals between network interfaces. These services give the subscriber the capacity required to transmit appropriate signals between certain access points, i.e. user network interfaces.

The bearer services include the following:

Rate adapted sub-rate information like circuit switched asynchronous and synchronous duplex data, 300-9600 bits.
Speech and data swapping during a call, i.e. alternate speech and data.
Modem selection, i.e. selection of 3.1 kHz audio service when inter-working with ISDN.

and for carrier services
A telecom carrier is a company that is authorized by regulatory agencies to operate a telecommunications system.

carrier services


Explanation:
In a glossary I received from Post- og Teletilsynet in 2010, it gives "bærertjenester" as "carrier services", so that's what I use.

agree  Diarmuid Kennan: The term is used in Danish too - check it on IATE (assuming Danish and Norwegian are the same in this instance)
