RAB crackdown on ISP suspects catering to VoIP customers from Monday

From the desk of Mr. Mohammed Salam, ISPAB

Dear all,

I have just been informed by the RAB that from Monday they will start cracking down on ISPs giving bandwidth to illegal voice operators. All ISPs are to take this WARNING SERIOUSLY and check whether any of their clients, however small, are terminating voice calls illegally. The RAB will not cut any slack whatsoever and will cease all equipments of the ISP found to be entertaining illegal voice terminators and will recommend to BTRC to cancel the particular ISP's license.

The RAB has found that many ISP customers are doing illegal voice termination business through BTTB using VPN and switching to IP ports not being blocked by BTTB. I urge and request all ISPs to be extra careful about their client's bandwidth usage and disconnect any customer suspected of doing illegal VoIP business. The RAB will observe traffic at BTTB today and Sunday to identify the ISPs that are entertaining the illegal operators.


Thanks.

Mohammed Salam
