> 1. Carrier voice quality requires certain bandwidth no matter we're dealing with packet or circuit mode. >Not true. Look at today voice compression algorithms. Even AT&T is using compression. Furthermore, as I said before, if you're using a packet based environment bandwidth is only used when voice packets are acutally traversing the network as opposed to cicuit switched where bandwidth is used for the duration of a call. The biggest hurdle still remains the packet "hiccup" that plagues this type of technology. Until bandwidth is truly unlimited without any possibility of system saturation, the subtleties of spoken language mandate a dedicated circuit. Tech heads accept a half-loaded webpage, a momentary wait while traffic surges, then completion of the request. The public will NOT tolerate this anomaly while talking with their broker, pastor or grandmother.
