Voip may be Blocked in India

This is big. Its definitely not good for India nor for telecom industry, but this may get true. Voip calls may be soon blocked in India. No more Internet phone calls to and from India. The question is WHY ?

India’s lack of effective technology to track Caller Line Identification may cost you the comfort of cheap net telephony in India. India's security agencies have recommended a ban on international Internet telephony.

If this gets true, it will mean no more cheap calls, no more talking for long to loved ones living in India. The call rates will rise above 9-10 cents/min that too very few providers offering. No more Nymgo, Mediaringtalk or your SIP calls to call India.

Wonder what will happen to those using VOIP in India to make international calls. Those business which rely on voip. They will then have to switch to Airtel, Vodafone or Reliance for international phone calls. That means money running out. The question again WHY ??

Just because India dont have technology to trap these phone calls. We all understand that India's security is of prime importance but that does not mean to switch off from latest technology, cheap calls, revenue. The solution would be to create some technology to ensure security even when using Voip calls. I just hope "Voip to be free", no blocking of calls..Free and cheap calls to India.
