India's VoIP Clampdown

The Indian Times reports, Illegal Web calls face being axed.

Claiming, "companies must furnish the names of authorised service providers from whom bandwidth and internet telephony minutes have been taken. The companies will also have to give an undertaking that they will not use the services of unlicensed foreign service providers such as Net2Phone, Vonage, Dialpad, Impetus, Novanet, Euros, Skype and Yahoo."

Skype being a factor in disrupting the level-playing field and contributing to a revenue loss to the Indian government as they did not pay the 12% service tax and a 6% revenue share on internet telephony.
