Spanish term or phrase: considera la instalación de abonados
Buenas tardes,
el término que busco traducir es "abonados", sería correcto traducirlo como "telephone subscribers"?, porque se refiere a instalar abonados, entiendo q se refiere a instalar aparatos telefonicas a la central telefonica correspondiente. Es asi?
Muchas gracias por sus respuestas!

Arlie.

subscribers
Explanation:
Although from the context, it looks like they are referring more to installing terminals than "subscribers", which we do not usually "install".... It could be a regional variant...
DRAE: 3. m. y f. Persona inscrita para recibir algún servicio periódicamente o determinado número de veces.4. m. y f. Persona que ha suscrito o adquirido un abono para un servicio o espectáculo.

Perhaps they mean (phone) terminals for subscribers...
