C&W being a legacy / incumbent carrier in several countries themselves, it will be interesting to see how they cope with this :)
In Panama, they are the incumbent being "protected" by the ban on VOIP.

Was anyone truly surprised C&W failed in the US marketplace? They seem only able to make money when they're the government-sanctioned monopoly. It'll be interesting to see if they can handle competition in India any better than they did in the US.
