While VoIP is upsetting the telephone industry in the USA and elsewhere, in Latin America, the governments are doing all they can to stop it dead in its tracks, striving to keep the long time incumbents operating without being impacted. But, if there is a will, there is a way technology will win out.
So while Vonage has the early lead, this is one of the markets which VoiceGlo’s GloPhone is doing rather well in. It’s browser based so there’s no need for any additional equipment. A recent discussion with their executives revealed that the Latin American market is a large consumer of their service, usually using it to stay in contact with their USA friends and relatives.
So while the Latin country leaderships try and stop VoIP, it seems many of their citizens understand the idea of letting freedom ring.
