After discussions with people about this the night Nancy demoed it, I can
see both sides of this, but I also think it's a halfway solution in my
eyes, technology-wise.

Uhm...better quality?  Phones run at 8KHz. the fP Room can get far better
fidelity than that.  I think it's at 13 now, and only because I have a
slow-arsed system that can't handle encoding fast enough, and because
that's about the most a v.90 user can handle without excessive packetloss.
It can go to at least 24.  I'm guessing it probably uses 16bit as well, and
a phone has far less fidelity that way to boot.  Ivocalize has probably
the best audio codec I've heard for non-telephone (ie., software) VOIP.
Vocaltec had nothing on this with their IPhone when I had it at v5.

Toss in a lousy speakerphone, and you have a really -lousy- quality
experience.  I deplore speakerphones--no matter which end of them I'm on.

Which isn't to say Nancy's stuff won't be good.  If someone has really
-good- speakerphones or they call individually or whatnot, hey, whatever
works.  But you're still limited to 8KHz and what is likely less than 16bit
in equivalent fidelity.
