The cell carriers aren't using G711.  I haven't seen how much a UMA call 
takes up, but I'd bet it's less than the 90K of G.711u.  UMA basically 
encapsulates a GSM stream inside of an IPSEC tunnel.  EDGE traffic gets 
up to 100K+ when surfing or downloading files, so I could see a data 
stream over UMA going up to 150-200K.

If you're talking EVDO data transfers via a femtocell, it could get up 
to a couple megabits (whatever they're touting EVDO's capability as, 
plus some overhead for security).
