Most small businesses using G.711 right now could fully upgrade to wideband IP550s, IP650s, etc., and not notice any change in bandwidth consumption.I think what you're missing is more highly compressed narrowband, like G.729 running with a payload as low as 8kbps before overhead.A lot of our clients place thousands or tens of thousands of calls per month using IP330 or IP430 phones with G.729 out of necessity. There's a quality sacrifice there, obviously, but these businesses need to keep bandwidth low or end up paying their ISPs through the nose. As a result, they aren't as free to move to wideband voice as other small businesses.I really enjoyed reading some articles on your site you certainly know what you're talking about when it comes to VoIP codecs. But I think there are cases where a business moving to wideband would need to consider the ramifications on their WAN or LAN.

Unfortunately -and as most HD Voice initiatives so far as you well know- this is ON-NET only (from livebox line to another livebox line) : G722 is transcoded into standard Narrow Band G711 over the TDM network when a call goes OFF-NET. Orange having HD Voice on their mobile network in France (using AMR-WB codec) it would be interesting to know whether France Telecom has plans to transcode AMR-WB and G722 to offer wide band continuity from their fixed to their mobile network, that would seem like a logical thing to do... regarding your comment on France Telecom Dough: France Telecom has been using HD Voice (G722) on their residential ASDL set-up boxes (Livebox) for a couple of years already, along with some compatible DECT device.

As would more clear-cut information on NXP's website. The email on NXP's press release goes to its PR agency. Where it sits until the PR agency gets to it and then sits some more while NXP tries to figure out what to do with it. I know because I've gone through this before trying to dig out information on NXP releases. A clear contact from a PR person or someone with NXP.com in their email would be accessible.
