[Chapter-delegates] Shutdown of Skype on our Mobile Broadband Internet Access

[Evelyn A. Lewis]

HI Eric,

Not the same experience as you in Ghana in Sierra Leone, but noted that it
is supposed to be illegal if the Gateway is considered a monopoly or legal
if liberalized.  I think the key thing is in the commercial usage of skype
in voice.

Much as they try to regulate this, I think  those states banning VOIP are
fighting a losing battle unless they want to become police states.

VOIP as an application has so many routes.

It's  inevitable that voice traffic gradually has to begin to accept its
permanent state as billing under a converged service plan and figuring in
ARPU as such.

I think ISOC has a role to play here in educating regulators. 

Thanks,

Evelyn

Hi everyone,

 

We have been experience a shut down of Skype by some of our Mobile Broadband
operators and I want to know if any chapter has experience such a thing and
what measures were used to address it. We intent complain to the regulator
in the Ministry of Communications here in a position paper. We will like
some input from any chapter who has had such an experience.

 

Kind regards

Eric

President,

Ghana Chapter
