Business Bulletin Airtel Stands By Decision to charge extra for VOIP Calls Standing by its decision to charge extra for services like Skype and Viber, telecom major Bharti Airtel today said allowing VoIP calls on mobiles without additional charges was not a tenable business. The company defended its position despite Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad saying yesterday that the government would look into the matter. He incidentally today tweeted a news report in this regard. Sources at Telecom Regulatory Authority of India also said that they are examining new tariff schemes of Airtel. Stating that it has invest over Rs 140,000 crore in rolling out telecom network over the past years, the firm said it will continue to charge separately for VoIP services. The VoIP charges are over and above the fee that users pay Airtel for using data services. However, in line with our philosophy of putting our customers above all else, we are committed to making VoIP services extremely affordable and attractive by ensuring adequate minutes for a very small charge on VoIP, Airtel said in a statement.
