Telecommunication industry is loosing a huge sum due to the use of VoIP, and it’s currently imposting tax and notifying big companies (IT) to register under the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) and pay the tax. You might also remember the times when TRC was trying to block VoIP via SLT and failed on that! Why in earth the people at TRC do not understand that we are paying for the internet and we can use it for what we want (Browsing, Chatting, Calling) as we need…
If this is so the Electricity Board mighty also impose a tax on CFL bulbs, and other low power consuming devices saying they are loosing huge sum of money as it consume less power! Internet is more like electricity, we pay for the service once we get it we do not pay for what we use it for! or need to be taxed for what we use it for… Be piratical!
