NTC issues implementing rules on VoIP

What is VoIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol. The technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using the Internet Protocol. Such data network may be the Internet or a corporate Intranet

VoIP routes calls through the Internet Protocol-based networks instead of circuit-switched networks.

======================
The NTC ruled in September that VoIP was a value-added service, meaning it would now fall under the category of deregulated services. The move is expected to dramatically lower the cost of telecommunications in the country.
