[SIPForum-discussion] SIP Trunking in India

Thu Nov 5 13:16:50 UTC 2009

 I want to be able to dial an Indian number and have it go via an ITSP. How
do I do that? Thankfully this is a hypothetical question. I don't actually
need to host DIDs for Indian numbers.

The point is that India is a wannabe free market where bans (and
consequently illegal activities to subvert those bans) are the norm.  They
are protecting the rights of a few vested interests at the expense of the
rights of the consumer. It is typical. It is Stalinist and it stinks. Like
everything else, this too shall pass but only 50 years into the future
(assuming SIP lives that long) -- after the rest of the world moves on.
