AFP: Egypt bans international Internet voice calls

AFP: Egypt bans international Internet voice calls

"The National Telecom Regulatory Authority issued a decision to stop VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and we stopped it on Saturday," Vodafone Egypt's external affairs director Khaled Hegazy told AFP.

The ban applies to Egypt's three mobile operators, Vodafone, Mobinil and Etisalat.

Egyptian law states that all international calls must pass through state-owned Egypt Telecom, which recorded lower than expected earnings in 2009.
