VoIP now legal in Zimbabwe?
Has the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) finally seen the light? If developments at Econet Wireless are anything to go by, VoIP is now legal in Zimbabwe. Or is it?
VoIP, voice over internet protocol, is the sending of voice calls over internet protocol as opposed to GSM or traditional switched network like PSTN that are relatively expensive.
Zimbabwe allows only local VoIP traffic. Which means a person in Bulawayo can call someone in Harare over the internet. But up to now it was illegal for anyone in Zimbabwe to make or receive international calls over the internet.
