Googling for G.711-HD only produces hits about AVM. The AVM web site is 
very vague.

CAT-iq supports G.722 for wideband voice. the CAT-iq web site describes 
this as "CD quality". I guess the person who wrote that has severely 
impaired hearing. :-)

G.711.1 is a really brain dead codec. I find it hard to believe there 
will ever be much take up of it.
