India Bans Skype, Other VoIP Providers
Pesky upstarts such as Skype will no longer be able to offer VoIP service in India, because they were apparently not giving the Indian government a slice of the pie. Such unlicensed providers weren't paying the 12% service tax and 6% VoIP revenue sharing fee. Elsewhere, outfits like Skype and Net2phone compete with government-run incumbents. Lebanon tackled this problem by passing a law stating that no broadband provider could offer upstream speeds faster than 32kbps. Banning Skype via network hardware is also a big business, and companies such as Verso are happy to oblige.
