[Asterisk-Users] VOIP Regulations in INDIA

[Vikram Rangnekar]

Does anyone know the exact VOIP regulations in India. What I want to know is
that are VOIP EPBX with E1 lines allowed for comapnies in India. For example
If I am a company which has 1 incomming E1 line can I have SIP or IAX
extensions inside my office and receive that PSTN call on the VOIP extension. 

Another senario would be say my office has a branch in another state and I
have a leased line or some sort of data network between the two offices can I
tranfer a PSTN call comming in over the E1 in one state to a VOIP extension
in another state over the data link between the two offices. 

Telecom in India is over regulated and according to what I figured out that
both those senario's above are not allowed I hope someone can prove me wrong.

After reading

and
http://www.dotindia.com/isp/guidelines.doc

I dont see much hope for offices in India who want to use Asterisk with say
Digium E1 cards as they would need to give a bank draf of 10 lakhs to DOT to
use VOIP internally.
