No free voip calls to UAE now

About a couple of days back, Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) in UAE announced that they will allow VOIP operators to provide cheaper voip calls in UAE region. Now suddenly they supplemented their initial announcement saying UAE will not allow any free voip services and only Etisalat and du will use VOIP for their services. That means more monopoly and less cheaper calls to uae residents. Yes dudes, its time to totally forget free calls.

Its a wonderous thing, when the western countries are looking to increase VOIP penetration why the east is so obsessed with traditional PSTN lines? Let us agree that old is gold but Some things need to change, especially in indian sub continent and middle east where markets are not run by customer's sentiments but more by what telecom companies want.

In asia largely in indian subcontinent, telecom regulators are puppets. They are the perfect seat warmers, all regulations are framed and done by the telecom operators for their own benefit. Even today, DID termination in India is illegal. Why on earth its illegal coz some companies loose money? Why don't you make it legal and let the foreign operator pay you a fixed levy? This will never happen unless telecom companies stop calling the shots. We all know that will never happen.

Lets get ready to pay more for making calls (forget cheaper) to Dubai and rest of the middle east.
