Wired tells how Indian ISPs, losing internet telephony business to instant messaging services, wants them
declared illegal:
When connecting to the Internet, a subscriber pays an ISP between 10 and 30 cents per hour, plus 10 cents per minute for Internet telephony. If the subscriber voice chats on an instant messenger, the ISP loses that revenue.
Faced with these huge losses, ISPs are trying to stifle the competition by making the case that voice chatting on instant messenger isn't legal.
