Status of VoIP regulation in Africa

August 24th, 2009 admin No comments

Overview

- Nigeria and Mauritius have legalised VoIP
- Algeria contemplating the same approach
- “Back door deals” arranged between SOTELMA (Mali) and four VoIP operators
- Kenya examining ways to have VoIP services through cybercafés and ISPs

VoIP is a tool that African governments and regulators could use in a number of ways to address a wide range of pressing issues and it is therefore something that needs to be understood rather than feared.
