Citat:
ponline:You can place payphones anywhere without using fixed telephone lines (wireless comes to mind).
Only wireless service with good coverage here is GPRS. Up until recently, the incumbent telecom (landline) provider had full control even over other (allegedly competition) GSM provider.
Recently Telenor stepped in and both this other GSM network but we are still waiting to see what will they offer. However, wouldn't they hurt their own income if they enable VoIP service to a third party company?
Besides, this incumbent telco also owns all the international trunks so we are basically in their grip when it comes to VoIP, as all ISP's use their lines. It is quite a political (or even worse: corruptionist, extortionist, monopolist) problem, not a technical one.
