Illegal VoIP costs dear
Voice & Data, Jan 25, 2010
"Illegal Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) users have been giving sleepless nights to service providers in the Saarc region. In a recent development, Nepal's state run operator Nepal Telecom (NT) has found that people operating illegal VoIP channels are costing it up to NPR 600 million ($8.38 million) per annum in lost revenues. Surendra Thike, the spokesman of the company says that racketeers operating illegal VoIP channels from around 20 points in Kathmandu Valley are costing it NPR 50 million every month in lost revenues. However, the state is clamping down on the process and the hopes that 'given closure of all the illegal VoIP channels, we can acquire the amount as a surplus.' Only licensed companies can operate VoIP services in Nepal, subject to tax by the state. Illegal VoIP providers earn between $8 and $12 per minute per call." |
