Would India’s leading telecommunications provider and the country’s largest public-sector firm really do it?

Before you get too excited about the whole thing, please note the capitalized “ I ” which stands for Internet or IP and not the latest Apple gadget that is subject to a lot of information exchange in the recent months. And yes, that was indeed a teaser.

The “I-Phone” under discussing here, would enable the user to call from broadband to broadband with no extra phone charges. So now you wouldn’t need to get onto your favorite messenger, connect your microphone and speaker and dial, but instead call off an IP phone and talk your way to glory without the need to worry of a hefty phone bill. The catch however would be that you actually are exchanging data over your broadband connection which might be subject to a data limit based on the broadband plan you have opted. Its also unclear whether the IP telephony traffic will be exchanged with other broadband providers.

But nevertheless this is a good start, and with the launch of IPTV with video on demand in a few major cities, is an indication of the dawn of the Indian Internet Protocol era.
