doing a move for a customer to a new building, and at the old building we just
used FXO’s, and now we want to use PRI. Somewhere someone mentioned to
the Telco we want to use VOIP, and now they refuse to activate the PRI. I mean
the PRI is for PSTN and not for VOIP. I need another company name to just proof
to them that there is someone using it. I’m sure there must be someone using
VOIP in Ethiopia<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'>Not in Ethiopia,
however my experience in other countries in Africa has learned me that the availability
of reliable connections is heaviliy depending on the location: Capitals and
economic centres have international connections via landline or aggregted VSAT
and are capable of running Voip or even Video over IP. Prepare for high circuit
costs though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'>I am currently doing
a video over IP project with VSAT connections into Angola, Congo, Cameroon and
Nigeria. Though the costs are high, the service is possible at a fair quality,
even if the latency is huge (over 400 ms).<br>
<br>
If you move away from the main cities it will be an entirely different story:
then probably you need your private VSAT connection, which is a costly affair,
I don’t think there will be network connections out of Addis Abeba or any
other main city in Ethiopia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
