Official: "Fake" IP Phone Card in the Benefit of CustomersAn official in charge of China Telecom said in an interview with Xinhua reporters regarding "fake" IP phone card that so far China does not have a genuine IP card. The current "fake" IP card benefits the customers for its high quality and low cost.According to a strict IP phone card definition, it was said, IP data packages should be connected with public Internet, but in consideration of safety and quality problems, none of China's telecom operators adopt this way, all of them make IP card via leased line or switched circuit network. Strictly speaking, those IP cards made by China's telecom operators are "fake". According to reports, current IP phone technology is in its transition period, which has a limited function and performance with high cost, no telecom companies would use this technology to develop next generation network. The official said that the real IP phone card could not match with the "fake" one both in quality and cost, customers can benefit from the "fake" IP card for its high quality and low price.
