VOIP to be Made Illegal in India

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-internet-is-not-for-talking dept.

Krish writes "Providers like Skype, Yahoo, Net2phone, Dialpad, etc. will not be able to offer VOIP in India under the proposed govt. clampdown. BPOs and other call centers will face the axe if they use any of the VOIP services provided by the above companies. It is not clear if this clampdown will affect regular home users."

    Mohammed H. Islam, you are some pathetic goatfucker! (Hey! How's your sister?)

    Did you even bother to read the sentence fully, or are you one of Muktada's smelly volunteers?

    Actually, when I read this, I couldn't help but laugh at all of the dumb companies that thought that they could save money by investing in what is still, essentially, a third world country. They should've realized that a few McDonald's and a rudimentary grasp of English doesn't make a country a first world country, (a good place to do business). I hope the backwater Indian government continues to tax "outsiders" in their own provincial way so that these stupid companies will learn their lessons. I think that India has a LONG way to go before it should be considered as any kind of technological powerhouse, and I think that this is a strong sign that that is true.

    Hey India: stop wasting time with computers, VOIP, space exploration and other Western luxuries and start feeding your goddamn people!
