And audio pattern 13kbps for speex 13/8*60=97.5kB/min 64kbps for gsm 64/8*60=480kB/min That is the peak data rate and will generally be substantially lower. Speech is very compressible. But if u have background noise compression is lower and data rate will hit the peak. . > we will have a > situation where all telephones are ip based.

Periodically u read in the papers some poor soul being arrested for running an illegal exchange. They are using voip with a gateway (several land lines connected to an epabx) to connect to local numbers. But the telcos are losing money on the international segment , money guranteed by the govt. via licence charges. So no voip gateway for connecting to local landlines. Which is what delicensing is all about. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
