Sure, Telnet will give you all the info (and more) you can get from
CDP. But imagine having access or knowledge of only one router or
switch. How would you know what is on "the other side" to telnet to, not
to mention their IP address?
CDP will tell you info of live devices you may not know existed on "the
other side". If you know your whole network, CDP may have limited value to
you. The bandwidth you gain by disabling it may not be worth the benefit
CDP offers.
My 2 cents worth.
