[Steven Ayre]

But you still need someone to be able to talk to. Ken's point is it works
great when you're only calling your other Speex phones, but as soon as you
want to talk to someone else you'll find they don't have Speex. You then
have to use another codec... a common standard one that's been around for so
long everyone supports it... like G729.
