Do you know why phone calls to Nepal are still expensive (relatively). It is well known fact that price has gone down significantly in recent years but not as much as I think it should have been.Kathmandu is connected with optical fiber with outside world via India. India and Bangladesh are enjoying their 1 cent per minute from US while Nepal it is many folds more.

Is it due to destination charge imposed by NTC? or some other reason. Can anyone please explain why it is so. Thanks.
