utilities, public utilities Explanation: Nuestro principal objeto es prestar servicios públicos domiciliarios de acueducto, alcantarillado, aseo, energía y gas, entre otros; así como servicios públicos no domiciliarios y el desarrollo de actividades complementarias inherentes a los mismos. http://www.epc.com.co/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&vi... (Utility company for Bogotá and surroundings) 2. Servicios públicos domiciliarios. Esta clasificación también se desprende de la Constitución, al establecer que le corresponde a la ley, fijar competencias y responsabilidades en relación a la prestación de los servicios públicos domiciliarios (Art. 367). Son los que tienen la posibilidad de llegar al domicilio de cada usuario. 3. Servicios públicos no domiciliarios. Son servicios que no tienen el carácter de domiciliarios. Ej. La propia Constitución al referirse a la seguridad social afirma que es un servicio público (Art. 48). http://constituciondecolombia.com.co/cpcart365.html (Colombian Constitution) Most of what I found on "servicios públicos no domiciliarios" was about telecommunications. Which fits with this description of public utilities from Wikipedia: A public utility (usually just utility) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service (often also providing a service using that infrastructure)...The term utilities can also refer to the set of services provided by these organizations consumed by the public: electricity, natural gas, water, and sewage. Broadband internet services (both fixed-line and mobile) are increasingly being included within the definition. Para los servicios públicos no domiciliarios de telecomunicaciones, como son telefonía móvil celular, PCS, valor agregado - Internet, y los servicios prestados a través de redes de acceso troncalizado (trunking) y beeper, http://www.elconsumidor.co/p/reclamos-por-servicios-publicos... You are definitely right that it is for both private homes and businesses. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2017-06-23 15:13:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I missed your last question, Robert. So, yes, it suffices and, I believe, is the most appropriate translation here. But now we know what "domiciliarios" added, by looking at the opposite, "no domiciliarios." New for me too. |
