I keep hearing this, "services," but what does it mean?

A friend put up a repeater on 2 meters. All it does it retransmit what
it hears--it's not even linked to anything--and it still seems to
attract rag-chewers who test the repeater's heat dissipation
capabilities all day long (If they just used their cell phone, or SIP
phones on HamWAN, I wouldn't have to listen to them). No need, no
business case, and it's still transmitting all day long.
