Montek group in favour of legalising Net telephony

NAVIKA KUMAR

NEW DELHI, MARCH 16: The sub-group headed by Montek Singh Ahluwalia on ``subsisting problems in the telecom sector, implementation of the internet policy and development of e-commerce' has virtually decided to allow legalising of voice and video on Internet. This means, Internet telephony, which is technologically a reality today, will now be allowed to be provided by internet service providers (ISPs).

This will provide a cheaper alternative especially for long-distance international calls for Indian consumers. Internet telephony allows conversation on international calls which may be 50 to 75 per cent cheaper than normal international phone calls. The quality of this voice, however, is not as good as a normal telephone conversations.

The group on information technology and telecommunications headed by Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha will take the final decision on whether the issue should be sent to the Cabinet for a formal clearance and what the modalities for this would be.

According to all indications available, the Government has recognised the fact that allowing Internet telephony to happen legally may be a better option to regulate the market rather than closing their eyes to this technical reality which is illegally already happening in the marketplace.
