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
http://www.investindiatelecom.com/BPO%20Regulations/Domestic%20-outgoing
.htm
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.
