Re: [asterisk-users] India Telecom regulations
Thank you Raj, I hope it will soon require no license as I heard there is a project to change this law, for now I believe I will recommend our office in India to go for license (to bridge to PSTN). Thanks once more for your help! 2011/12/19 Raj Mathur (राज माथुर) r...@linux-delhi.org On Tuesday 20 Dec 2011, khalid touati wrote: Thank you Raj, so with VOIP license calls can go beyond our pbx to PSTN (india), right, if so this what i needed to know to call Indian cellphone from US (or other countries) If your objective is to originate calls in the US (using whatever technology), route them over SIP and then terminate them to the PSTN in India, then yes: your Indian presence would need a VoIP licence.
