About
VoIP Termination
VoIP termination is a service provided by wholesale carriers
to other service providers to start up, add to or extend the
reach of their networks. VoIP termination service providers
can typically terminate traffic at a lower cost than
traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) routes.
According to Internet giant Cisco, "The main growth area for
VoIP is toll arbitrage. Toll arbitrage takes advantage of
the ambiguous regulations in termination of IP traffic
within countries and localities. Because of these regulatory
disparities between regulated TDM traffic and typically
unregulated VoIP traffic, VoIP can be terminated at a
fraction of the cost of TDM traffic (check with local
regulation authority for requirements for terminating VoIP
traffic)." |
