20/02/2009 - India delays decision on unrestricted VoIP access
India's Parliament announced Thursday that it delayed a decision on whether or not to allow full VoIP services in the country. The government did not set a date on when it would reach a decision on unrestricted VoIP access, which has met with fierce opposition from incumbent telcos in the country.
