[Asterisk-Users] asterisk in india

[Kanuri, Seshu]

There is one more twist to this. The broadband connection in India really sucks as it carries heavy load of Hindi Films and Hindi Film Songs. 

We have a few Broadband connections running from India. When the call comes from India to USA, the VOIP Broadband Phone turns into a Juke Box and all that our users in US can listen to is the Voice Overs of melodies of Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey and Mohammed Rafi. The VOIP Voice is critically low.

Another factor is that the noise eliminates any real use of advanced codecs like G729. The Internet bandwidth is so expensive to run from India, there is no real use of hosting your Asterisk box there, Vis-a-Vis the same in USA.

And offcourse you cannot legally interconnect VOIP with Analog or Digital PRI lines there.
