Crookbond Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 These guys are so shameless Sabby' date=' they will twist whatever logic they want to suit them.[/quote'] TRAI chief is correct - there's nothing illegal about charging VoIP calls. However, that doesn't make Airtel's logic correct on the VoIP data packs.
Desi Cartman Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Bummer: VoIP Calls On Indias Airtel Will Be Chargeable Regardless Of Your Da... See their revenues are in decline and they can't increase prices due to competition. The market is pretty competitive and some small provider will very soon take advantage and allow VoIP but will charge data at maybe a little bit more or even not. So the market will fix it but this just shows how competitive the market is these days. I work with providers all over the world and they are desperate right now.

Airtel revenues have grown 130% from 2008-09 to 2013-14.

StriKe Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Airtel has canceled the plan. Public outrage worked :nice: Airtel hasn’t withdrawn the VoIP packs because of consumer outrage. It’s withdrawn the pack because of the impending TRAI consultation. As Airtel points out, the consultation will not just cover VoIP, but also other OTT services. As per a COAI paper, these services include Instant Messaging (IM), Applications (Apps), Cloud Services, Internet Television, IPTV, M2M – Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, Social Networking, apart from VoIP. The TRAI, as we explained, appears predisposed towards a regulation of online services, and we’re not sure if we can expect a neutral consultation from the TRAI. http://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/2qolno/bharti_airtel_decided_not_to_implement_proposed/ http://www.medianama.com/2014/12/223-airtel-withdraws-voip-charges-for-now-after-forcing-trais-hand-on-net-neutrality-consultation/
