South Africa seems to have unilaterally legalized VoIP as of Feb next year. A bit surprising given how upsetting this could be. So, one wonders how this will play out long term.

Its wordy but worth all the time spent on it. The guy has some very
revealing comments that are vital for any forward looking ICT
professional.

I guess what's becoming clear is that telcos have mostly been
efficient-driven, rather than customer driven. How can they roll out the
service to end users in the most efficient manner (for the telco, not the
customer)?


VoIP, on the otherhand, moves to reverse the concept - VoIP is customer
focused, making things more efficient for the user. Well, the telco could
also gain in terms of efficiency by moving their voice packets over an IP
network, but now they'd get into a squabble from all sorts of small would-be
telcos, stealing those valuable minutes from which CEO's have been earning 6
figures +.


This is why telcos will always go screaming and crying to the regulators.
You'd just better hope your regulators are switched on.
