RE: [Ugnet] $0.14 to Call Uganda

Thu, 12 May 2005 11:44:05 -0700



Vonage has a $25/month unlimited calls to US & Canada (http://www.vonage.com/products_premium.php), $0.14 to Uganda (mobile or landline), but $0.28 to UK (http://www.vonage.com/intrates.php#U).
 
Where is the catch?
 
Dear all,
 
I dont think there is any catch.  Vonage is at the forefront of VoIP. It is only because telephone companies, which have recouped their investiment a zillion times over, cheat us with these high telephone rates. There is no reason why Telephoning is not as cheap as e-mail.
 
Uganda should have never allowed the local phone companies to charge wananchi an arm and a leg. And we warned Hon Nkuuhe - head of NRM Science policies. Regardless, Vonage and some five or so other companies are trailblazing the future.
 
The British, under cover of South African telephony may be bleeding us now but the writing is on the wall - they will not fleece us for ever.
 
In Canada the big Telephone companies are fighting back. They want govt to regislate them special favours and protection. They are lobying to get whole telephone-law enforcment public services disbanded and the relevant public servants who enforce these laws put out of business.
 
Wherever you reside get more informed on this ripoff and fight back, through your political representatives. But in the end technology and the people will win.
 
Humanity is entitled to telephony which is as cheap as e-mail.
