VoIP Calls Double In Quality

anthm writes "From Newsforge and LinuxPR
FreeSWITCH, an open source soft-switch and IVR platform, have announced that they can support 16khz audio calls thus doubling the potential voice quality. They have had successful tests with a conference bridge, a pass-through SIP call and an IVR that reads RSS news feeds with the Cepstral Text-To-Speech Engine."

Voip-Info.org has a good list of business VoIP providers.

I'll agree to some extent that this is good news, but my friend, 16khz is a lot of packages which will have to be squeezed through the current pipes which I recieve my internets through; so this will make the speed of internets go down to no faster than the standard post. Did you know the other day I got an internet which had been sent on Friday! *mubbles to self*...
