 1 Section 1. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new

 4 of this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 9 ated or used by a telecommunications systems company to provide services
 10 located within the boundaries of the state, authority or municipality.
 11 (c) "Voice service" shall mean any service that is interconnected with
 12 the public switched telephone network and that furnishes voice communi-
 13 cations to an end user using resources from the North American Numbering
 14 Plan or any successor to the North American Numbering Plan adopted by
 15 the public service commission under section 251(e)(1) of the Communi-
 16 cations Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 251(e)(1)); and includes:
 17 (i) transmissions from a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or
 18 other device to a telephone facsimile machine; and
 19 (ii) without limitation, any service that enables real-time, two-way
 20 voice communications, including any service that requires internet
 21 protocol-compatible customer premises equipment and permits out-bound
 22 calling, whether or not the service is one-way or two-way voice over
 23 internet protocol.
