MTNL launches VoIP telephony
The scenario in the telecom sector in India has always had more than its share of excitement,
be it in terms of crippling controversies or path breaking developments.

On the other hand, we have an interesting business innovation that could based on the internet, that could in fact have a positive influence on even the lives of people who have been hitherto untouched by it. Telecom service provider Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) has taken the initiative to introduce Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). This service is called Netfone, and would enable its subscribers to make international calls to countries like US, UK, Canada & Australia at a tariff as low as Re.1 per minute, hence making a killing in the market. MTNL has collaborated with Aksh Optifiber to facilitate the citizens of Delhi and NCR region to make inexpensive calls using VoIP to more than 150 countries. The company plans to extend this service to Mumbai too, very shortly.
