How to Take Advantage Of VoIP And The Growing Grey Route Market?

What is a telephony white route?

The route provided by an International Long-Distance telephone operator for legitimately routing traffic into countries for termination.

What is a telephony grey route?

Effectively, a telephone route using VoIP into a market where termination is regulated by Government and lobbied by Telecom monopolies, however, the grey route provider by-passes the telco ILD relationship by carrying the traffic over IP to the local Public Switch Telephone Network. (PSTN) The grey route is predictably cheaper and several North American telco’s send billions of minutes into grey routes to make more money from the difference between the white route quote and a grey route. The most popular grey routes are mobile phone grey routes as the mobile phone is the largest market and most highly over priced in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. International long-distance (ILD) telephone operators have raised alarm in countries like India at the way grey market has snatched away 50% of the calls that should have legitimately been routed through them. Grey route traffic into India for example is in the 3.5 billion minute range or an opportunity of $140 to $280 Million USD business per month profit. A quick explanation of the effect of a grey route in India and the opportunity at hand is “When a call is made from an overseas destination, the legal operator pays Rs 5.50 as termination charges to the domestic basic operator. The illegal operator passes off the incoming traffic as a local call and incurs a cost of 0.50 paise as he skips termination charges. This also means that the revenue margins shift from the local operator to the overseas operator, who pays 7-8 cents against 13 cents through the legal route.

Where is there a business opportunity to create a route?

Most commonly the grey route works through call centers, which are used as front or an extension of an actual call centers revenue stream to skip the ILD operator and are used to route traffic from foreign destinations via VoIP SoftSwitch systems that also act as soft switches for routing traffic. VoIP is 100% legal from computer to computer or IP based application to IP based Application such as two PBX’s. Even Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use their leased lines to terminate international calls. Licenses are not allowed to terminate on fixed lines but it happens.

How do you make a grey route for your Country or Business Model?

Most likely if your country is regulated, the model of disguising the termination point as a call center is the best bet. In addition, setting-up a server for IP telephony such as the Gateway, Soft Switch solution is not illegal PC-to-PC and most likely would not be targeted for the PC-to-Phone termination. The main system can act as the command center for several VoIP enabled PBX Softswitches set-up in houses and call centers nationally thus allowing for an immediate off premise grey routes. For the most part, this would enable you to also compete with the aggregators buying -up the grey route termination minutes.

Risks

It is when a company terminates large volumes of minutes that takes away from the ILD that regulators become more aggressive. The other common incidents are produced when offering a service to the domestic market that involves any type of phone-to-phone service. Trying to copy a Vonage business model in a developing country… expect immediate backlash from the incumbent telecommunications firm to attempt to shutdown your business.

Then who is the client? (Take Advantage of VoIP In Your Country Below!)

The call centers themselves, ISPs, businesses, and individuals using IP telephony on their computer. Once the system is set-up to handle these clients, your firm can effectively deploy more discreet termination into your country in the 3-6 million minutes a month range. This will allow a consistent $20 - $40 thousand USD to sustain your business growth. As you grow or your country becomes less regulated you can grow your piece of the pie. This is a great solution for countries where grey routes can offer a lower cost route that cuts costs by a factor of 30%. These are all example countries that would be best suited for this solution.

Dear brethren,

From Mrs. Doris Moses.
Beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

I am the above named person 76years old woman from #82 FEBAY AVAUNE LIVERPOOL LONDON. I am married to Dr. Alan George Moses,We were married for Thirteen (13) years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 5,000,000.00 ( Five Million British
pounds) with the (HSBC BANK) in London.My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my partial stroke.Having known my condition I decided to donate this funds to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that givet. I took this decision
because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are
not believers and I dont want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will want you to give me your

and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Note, this must be kept confidentially from eyes and ears of my husband's family. Hoping to hear from you.Please Reply on my private email address here:(mrs.motherdorisalanmoses123@yahoo.com)
