Internet Telephony in India - TRAI and Govt. Allowed

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI) has allowed internet telephony in the country. The move will enable one to make calls from personal computers to fixed line and mobile phones. Earlier, voice call made from one computer could travel to another computer but not from a mobile or a fixed line phone.


As per the TRAI recommendations, the STD service providers would be connected to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) through public internet for the purpose and the two service providers would have mutual agreement for the same.

“It is envisaged that customers will ultimately benefit from cost effective and innovative internet telephony service. These recommendations will put Indian telecom sector in tune with global trends. The grey market tendencies shall be curtailed,” TRAI has said.
