How will the ChinaTelecom ever block these type of VoIP offerings?</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/04/05/shanghai_to_blo.php#comment-205163 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/04/05/shanghai_to_blo.php#comment-205163 Comments Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:17:22 +0800 <p>Actually, ChinaTelecom has been experimenting with shutting out other VOIP providers from their network since at least last year. I used to have a VOIP phone installed at my place here last year from one of the other Telecom providers here in China. One day, it just stopped working. I found out that ChinaTelecom had begun blocking the ports that the IP Phone used so disgusted, i ordered cable broadband jjust to support that phone. That phone was a beta test version so i was getting free calling for a year. So, it was well worth the 100rmb cost of adding cable broadband. :)</p>
