Government-owned Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL} holds a monopoly on all voice long distance calls to and from India, but according to ComputerUser.com this situation will end in April, 2002. 85% of VSNL’s revenue now comes from international calling, but the company has now been granted license by the Indian government to go into the ISP business nationwide and hopes Internet revenue will replace its lost earnings from voice phone transmission.
