Amen Brotha But as long were not broke and get to play (i mean work) with bleeding edge tech, and companies can afford this stuff,
Then Drive on Cisco, Drive on!

How many uncompressed, toll-quality calls can you push out simultaneously over a T1??? Have you done the math? 24? Maybe 23 on a good day. Sure, if you use compression you can squeeze in quite a bit more, but you can't deny that IPT is bandwidth-hungry, with streaming MOH, voicemail audio streams, the calls themselves. Believe me, VoIP is absolutely a bandwidth-hungry app. No one who understands the technology would deny that.
