[Asterisk-Users] the g729 situation

[Uriel Carrasquilla]

If we avoid g729, what options do we have for SIP/Budgetone/Grandstream when
communicating to * via the Internet and still have something comparable to
GSM?

I must say I'm impressed that people are brave enough to (1) accept the
long, restrictive and sometimes outright scary (did you read the parts
about credit card charges, or the definition of "G.729 software" in
connection with "Improvement by Licensee"?) licensing agreement and
(2) run a binary module that touches strange parts of the machine and
communicates that information over the network to a third party.

I also feel sorry for Digium, because they have to take the heat from
unhappy users.

IMHO this codec should be avoided at all cost.
