Indian Carrier Airtel Cancels Plans To Charge Extra For VoIP After Public Opposition

After announcing last week it would begin charging extra for VoIP data, Airtel has backed down in the face of bad press and angry customers. VoIP calls will continue to be billed as regular data, at least for now.

The carrier made the argument that the increasing use of services like Skype and Viber made it hard to run a profitable business going forward.
