With UDP and silence detection your stated bandwidth requirements will come right down, as only one person will normally be talking at once otherwise no one would understand what is being said. Also will you please stop going on about how a server should be required in all cases when it simply is not for normal peoples everyday use, p2p is better for that and nothing to say will change that, I can see that a server based approach will be needed in a limited amount of cases but you going on saying the server approach is always better without backing up your reasoning with realisic proof is getting really annoying (sorry but 10 people in 1 conversation is not realistic normal usage, 2 maybe 3 is more like it).
