[SIPForum-techwg] Can we please have at least one real codec

[Jack Burton]

Bandwidth per call is getting cheaper all the time.
 
I think mandating a codec that makes VOIP calls sound inferior to TDM calls will bring at least as much ridicule as one using more bandwidth.
 
If we mandate any codec at all, we should only require G.711.   G.711 is the only codec that is supported in virtually every endpoint/gateway and is royalty-free.

Bandwidth for call is expensive - we want a T1 VoIP line to support  
more calls, not less calls that a T1 PRI line. I think we have to  
require codec that uses less bandwidth than 711 or the whole thing  
will just be made fun of by the marketing departments of PSTN  
providers. I'm not saying people have to use this codec, but I think  
it has to be implemented on both sides.
