Hi Saswata,
Since you are into VoIP, what is the amount of KBs used per minute in a voip conversation?
Depends on the codec. And audio pattern 13kbps for speex 13/8*60=97.5kB/min 64kbps for gsm 64/8*60=480kB/min That is the peak data rate and will generally be substantially lower. Speech is very compressible. But if u have background noise compression is lower and data rate will hit the peak. .
we will have a situation where all telephones are ip based. In such a scenerio, there will be no need to make outgoing calls on the landlines and for those whose bills run into a few thousand rupees even for local calls, this would be a big boon. We simply pay rent and no outgoing calls.
In this situation, will the telcos. allow this to happen? Will they place curbs on voip usage in order to save their revenue? Does the law have any such provision?
Periodically u read in the papers some poor soul being arrested for running an illegal exchange. They are using voip with a gateway (several land lines connected to an epabx) to connect to local numbers. But the telcos are losing money on the international segment , money guranteed by the govt. via licence charges. So no voip gateway for connecting to local landlines. Which is what delicensing is all about.
