Hi João, Please say hello to Giancarlo at Khomp for me :)
Khomp is the best example in Brazil of what good engineering and fair commercial prices can do to a country that suffers from high import taxes. Unfortunately some companies are still inclined to buy imported products/brands instead of favouring local production. Apart from this discriminatory issue, I believe that local research and production can turn the table of trade barriers imposed to development countries. By the way, are you aware of any companies producing SIP phones in Brazil ?
