[asterisk-users] G722?

[Michael Graves]

In a recent interview someone from Digum indicated that the G722 wideband codec was being worked into Asterisk. This will make Asterisk compatible with Polycom's new HDVoice products 
like the IP650 phone. This is very interesting, potentially exciting, but it brings up certain questions.

Who will benefit as long as calls must typically pass into existing PSTN infrstructure, and so be transcoded into G.711? It seems to me that only systems that are IP end-to-end stand to show 
the improvements...or am I mistunderstanding?
