[Asterisk-Users] Question on bridged calls

[snacktime]

If I connect to a provider using iax, and that provider connects to
his provider using only sip,  the provider I am connecting to isn't
going to be able to bridge the call and drop out of the media stream
correct?

If I'm understanding how bridging works, you lose the ability to have
the media stream going directly between the two endpoints of the call
with most of the providers out there if you use iax, unless the
provider has their own tdm network.

Is this correct or am I completely missing something?
