Ethiopia criminalizes VOIP
- otoburb 14y agoI wonder if the Ethiopian government runs any Microsoft software? I know that the article referred to the law that covered all forms of VOIP (assuming Asterix PBX software would be banned as well), but since Skype is now part of Microsoft I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be some level of lobbying at some point in the future to reverse this legislation. Perhaps the government knew that this was just a vanguard action and are hoping to buy some time to get their national communications ministry in shape (read: evaluate & implement VOIP DPI/monitoring solutions) before they were pressured to overturn the law.
