[Freeswitch-users] g729

[Ken Rice]

Actually Digium has nothing to do with this... The whole problem is the
Patents held by The G729 Consortium, and 2 other companies...

Contract Initialtion Fees, and initial Royalty payments end up making it
very cost prohibitive for most people to shoulder (we're talking a nice 5
digit number just to obtain the priviledge to pay the royalties)

Can it be done yes, will it happen yes, when is the real question...
Critical mass has to hit
