Subscribers can use the Efonica service through their PCs by downloading a free computer-based telephone, or "softphone," from the efonica web site, or with one of the many compatible hardware devices that do not require a PC.Įfonica can be used with broadband, dial-up and wireless Internet connections. With its paid-for services, Efonica aims to outperform these revenues, especially because it believes its service to be of a higher quality. By providing paid-for services for premium customers, akin to those provided by Efonica, Skype made revenues of $60 million in 2005 with projected revenues of $200 million this year, said Karam. Skype was acquired by eBay last year for $2.6 billion, rising to $4.1billion if certain performance targets are met. This is reflected in the fact that Skype adds 150,000 customers a day.

For this reason, "people are really running to embrace it," he said. "The UAE has work to do in defining regulations," he added.īy using Efonica, not only are calls free, or at least far cheaper for the customer, but for the carrier, the cost of delivering the service is also far less, said Rosen. The efficiencies are huge."īut no licences have been granted in any part of the Gulf, although discussions are under way, he said. And although Asia is the largest market, in terms of raw numbers, the percentage of take up in the Middle East and Africa, is growing rapidly, said Matthew Rosen, Fusion's president and chief executive officer: "Almost all countries in the region are actively reviewing licences. The company already has licences in Bahrain and Jordan and it expects to be granted a licence to operate in Saudi Arabia next year. To achieve this the company is "in the process of teaming up with several operators around the world," he said, adding that they would do business with etisalat and du. On what basis will have to be determined.Įfonica, which is 100 per cent owned by New York publicly listed Fusion Telecommunications, has a "vision is to make its service available to everyone who uses the telephone," said president of Fusion's VoIP division and CEO of Efonica, Dubai office, Roger Karam. But if the service is provided through a third party there will be inevitably be a charge to the customer. The question remains however whether this IP to IP based dial-up service remains free, as thousands of residents within Dubai and other emirates would like, or whether the service will be available only through two providers - the incumbent etisalat and the new operator du.Ĭhoueiry, believes that the TRA will "probably let IP to IP calls be a free service," in much the same way as communicating via MSN Messenger is free. "We aim to be ready as soon as the TRA makes an announcement," said Efonica's regional director for Asia and Africa, Ibrahim Choueiry.

And as soon as the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) in the UAE rules that VoIP is legal, slated to be in the first quarter of 2007, Efonica is ready to pounce.
