I'm in a nearby (EU) country and the VOIP rates to terminate calls here are also quite expensive compared to Western EU countries. In a lot of cases it's actually cheaper to make calls to numbers here on a mobile phone from another EU country, than over VOIP. Telephony in general is fairly cheap, so I'm guessing there's only one or two providers here providing VOIP termination, and without much competition they price their services as high as enterprise companies who need it will allow.
