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."

    Ask yourself, self, how could this happen?

    And that's exactly why we have strong cryptography.

    Government: You're illegally calling people.
    You: No, that's e-mail.
    Government: Oh.
