Does anyone know the exact VOIP regulations in India. What I want to know is
that are VOIP EPBX with E1 lines allowed for comapnies in India. For example
If I am a company which has 1 incomming E1 line can I have SIP or IAX
extensions inside my office and receive that PSTN call on the VOIP extension.
Another senario would be say my office has a branch in another state and I
have a leased line or some sort of data network between the two offices can I
tranfer a PSTN call comming in over the E1 in one state to a VOIP extension
in another state over the data link between the two offices. Telecom in India is over regulated and according to what I figured out that
both those senario's above are not allowed I hope someone can prove me wrong.
After reading http://www.investindiatelecom.com/BPO%20Regulations/Domestic%20-outgoing.htm
and
http://www.dotindia.com/isp/guidelines.doc
I dont see much hope for offices in India who want to use Asterisk with say
Digium E1 cards as they would need to give a bank draf of 10 lakhs to DOT to
use VOIP internally.
Vikram,
You may want to contact the local India entity responsible for the legislation.
There are many details in some countries on the specifics. The other thing you may need to be aware is that some countries may be now (or in the future) filtering VOIP traffic (search in google), so you may need to check if the Internet provider you would be dealing with (you mention leased line, that should not be a problem so, but just being generic here..).
I know some other countries do have specific constraints (Panama ? Mexico ? Brazil ?) and each one a little distinct from the other..
