Egypt enforces ban on international VoIP calls via mobiles
You can no longer use your mobile phone or mobile broadband connection to make international Voice-over-IP telephone calls from Egypt. The country's National Telecom Regulatory Authority has started enforcing a law that insists all international phone calls must are routed through state-owned Telecom Egypt. Although the law has been in place for a while, a drop in international call volumes via Telecom Egypt is said to have prompted the move to enforce it. [Sources: Yahoo.com; Reuters.com]
