... retail local access-dependent VoIP [voice over Internet protocol] services are services for which access and service are both provided by the same provider, and can be provided by changing the underlying technology of the local access network from circuit-switched to packet-switched [and] are typically indistinguishable from traditional local telephone services, while retail local access-independent VoIP services are very different, as they require high-speed Internet access as well as special handsets, adapters or the use of a computer, and may be more susceptible to service deterioration or disruption. 1, record 2, English, - retail%20local%20access%2Ddependent%20VoIP%20service

[...] les services VoIP [voix sur protocole Internet] locaux de détail dépendants de l'accès sont des services pour lesquels l'accès et le service sont fournis par le même fournisseur et peuvent être offerts par changement de la technologie sous-jacente du réseau d’accès local de la commutation de circuits à la commutation par paquets [et] sont en général impossibles à distinguer des services téléphoniques locaux traditionnels, tandis que les services VoIP locaux de détail indépendants de l'accès sont très différents, étant donné qu'ils nécessitent un accès Internet haute vitesse, ainsi que des combinés spéciaux, des adaptateurs ou l'utilisation d’un ordinateur, et qu'ils sont susceptibles d’être plus vulnérables à la détérioration ou à l'interruption de service. 1, record 2, French, - service%20VoIP%20local%20de%20d%C3%A9tail%20d%C3%A9pendant%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bacc%C3%A8s
