Dude.. As Rangeen Chara said VOIP is already legalized in NEPAL, the budget call service 1425/1445 provided by NTC and 1212 call service provided by UTL falls under the category of VOIP service.

The raid on NETLINK is because of VOIP but not related with NTC/UTL only. The main reason for that is to start so called personal VOIP service is they dont have to register any where. that means that they dont have to pay any kind of tax on their income.

But for all call through these national level operator(UTL/NTC) they have to pay same amount of tax on their money. As because of these private business VOIP, these national level operator were loosing their income but on the same time NEPAL government was also loosing a big chunk of money.. As Baburam is trying to collect the as much of tax he can....  they raided on NETLINK. So that NTC and UTL will can have more revenue and at the same time NEPAL government can also have some chunk from that revenue
