Personal Computer to Phone Calls in Offing
Removing the last barriers in seamless connectivity, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will soon allow connectivity between PC and fixed and mobile phones. This would mean that telephone calls could be made from a personal computer to a fixed phone or a mobile phone. These are currently not allowed.
The move would bring about a steep fall in STD rates and redefine the national long distance(NLD)regime.
Sources said Trai would release a consultation paper on the issue on May 12. Currently,voice over Internet protocol(Internet telephony) is permitted by licensed Internet service providers (ISPs), but such calls can only be made from PC-to-PC. For terminating such calls to phones, a special device has to be attached.
There's a big market for PC-to-phone calls, as can be gauged by the traffic in the international long distance sector, where it's allowed, the usage is about 300 million minutes in a quarter.
