VoIP in Indian Telecom Market

A little search online on VoIP would reveal the amount of action taking place in “matured telecom markets” abroad. Sadly, there is no activity in what is perceived to be one of the “fastest growing telecom markets”.

There are a few companies as of now who are dealing with the same. Sify is one that has revolutionized the cheap call rates to US, UK and Canada. Tata has bundled this with its Internet dial up (under VSNL). Apart from this, I am not aware of any other major player in the market; with the exception of perhaps BSNL. Frankly, I never got a chance to experience the same; except for Sify, which provides an average experience.

There is no reliable indicator for the quality of services, either it maybe the GSM or CDMA or perhaps VoIP. Once the broadband really kicks in, we might get to see a flurry of activity either way. The market is comatose as of now.

    Their is one more company that deals with the VoIP of two well known brands that is Audio Codes and Multitech. They are Multitech India and are run like a fiefdom and will treat customers all willy nilly.Despite the big brands that they carry their service is pathetic and god forbid if some technical problem occours. then all the technology goes for a toss. It is better to close down than to run a shoddy operation like the one that they do.

    VoIP is steadily catching up in India. Most of the ISPs are offering internet telephony alongwith data connectivity.Some of them are also offering Voice VPNs for corporate customers.Enterprises have been the first ones to embrace this technology due to its cost benefits and good quality. Mass penetration has still not taken place due to high cost of IP telephones and due to regulation constraints.Majority of the IP telephony users are PC to PC or PC to phone(overseas).However, the usage is likely to increase sharply once the regulatory constraints are removed and people are allowed to call out from SIP/H323 terminals to phones outside India.

    Using VoIP, we can call from PC to PC, PC to VoIP phone, or VoIP phone to ordinary phone via an Internet/Intranet service provider. VoIP is popular for international calling. In particular, VoIP enables you to call from virtually anywhere.
