This appears to be the next big thing to hit the telecom circuit and it may take many things (not exactly telecom now) by storm. As Sunil Mittal says Telecom is like the Pacman who keep growing eating other business. Well IP (Internet Protocol) is the thing that will help telecom eat few big-ticket businesses. One of this will be Cable TV business that may soon shift totally to telecom operators. Already IPTVs are in advanced stages of development & testing.
VOIP can kill the difference between local call & STD/ISD calls. It would again lead to ‘Talk Unlimited’ scenario. Currently Indian regulations donot facilitate VOIP but soon regulations will have to change. Indian telecom players are already betting on it. Tata’s latest acquisition – Teleglobe is interesting because Teleglobe has recently merged with itself ITXC – the world’s biggest carrier of VOIP minutes. Reliance is working closely with Microsoft on IPTV technology. Bandwidth (international undersea optic fiber cables) is already there. If policy changes in time India might lead the VOIP onslaught. I am on a look -out for an IP expert who can teach me fine points about the technology. Anybody??
