That's the exact point : some users need 1GE and with 10/100 embedded
switches, IP hardphones become the bottleneck, if you can't afford to use
separate cabling and network.

Today, buying extra ports for stations having extra bandwidth requirements
is acceptable as 10/100 LAN access is the norm.
But it could be painful to explain executives, every IP Phone you bought
during 2007 will not keep up with 1GE LAN.
