Thanks for giving your comment on that.



But still I am not agreeing at your points. YES, VOIP is not illegal, that's why we can use the Messenger, Skype and magic jack application, from Nepal, which is based on VOIP and SIP protocol.

I know there was time, when World link used to block these kind of protocol, so that we were not able to have voice conversation through Messenger.

As everybody, is using it. We cannot say NTA is not allowing it. Not only that, 1425 NTC and some 1202 of UTL calling code are based on VOIP.  NTA is not allowing to have business calls for other users from unauthorized people. The only reason is Nepal government will not make any revenue for such calls.

The main thing I was not able to understand is why you are accusing NTA will not allow the VOIP for NTC. As both are completely different company and NTA will not get any bonus from NTC too. The only reason NTA is not allowing
it is revenue as I have stated previously.

I did not know the internal details about UTL, as you might know. But that big antenna at the UTL office at putalisadk was for their international gateway. So my personal belief is that they will not allow such thing. If some staffs will
help you to get phone easily does not mean that UTL is helping it.



I have found the some old sajha link where they have calculated how much of money these calling card people will make. Note that government will make 20% of that money as tax, if it is passed through authorized company

any $ 5 dollor card
in for example in  tomatotel cost you $5.39 ($0.39 is some kind of surcharge fee)

suppose that they are routing around 400  calls in weekdays and 700 calls per weekend (I think 400 and 700 are quite low number for these well know VOIP call generator sites)

 that means they are routing 400*5+2*700  = 3400 calls

For those 3400 calls they will get 3400 *5.39 = $ 18326

If that  private cyber cafe  of Nepal who will generate our call from internet got 30% of that money it will be  $5497.8 i.e NRS 4,12,335 ( so if they have to pay for 1,00,000 for local call usage) they will get around 3,00,000 money per week (

As you know we have more than 20 different calling card providers, that means goverment is losing a reveune tax on Rs.
3,00,000 x 20 = 60,00,000 per week, which is equals to Rs 12,00,000. i.e 6,24,00,000, almost 6 core per year

I think his assumption were quite realistic.
