IP Convergence: Beyond VoIP, Beyond Cost Savings

Speaking about “Shooting oneself in the foot” - I find this quite interesting since India’s economy is booming due to BPOs, outsourcing and entrepreneurs are opening Call Centers there and they are also using VoIP or IPT to communicate with their clients around the World.

I remember about 5 years ago when I worked at Net2Phone, we used to play with all sorts of devices that would allow us to terminate VoIP traffic to countries like Indian, Pakistan, Jamaica, Congo, etc.

Those days, it was the service providers blocking VoIP traffic. In Jamaica, for example, we terminated traffic via a satellite link and Cable & Wireless kept blocking us (Net2Phone), we had to shut down that POP.

Now, it’s the government! But India of all places??? Come on...!
