I was looking up something concerning BitTorrent and Bram Cohen, and stumbled across this neat comment by Bram.
Would some carrier, any carrier, please offer the feature that when calls are made within the carrier you get better audio quality than is available over the plain old telephone system? Is it too much to ask that background music sound like background music, rather than bizarre noise?
The comment happens to be embedded in an iPhone review, but that is not its most salient feature: the key thing is that someone with great technical understanding is stating something that has bugged many of us for years. In the ensuing comment interchange he also argues that synchronous voice, when there are 100ms lags involved, should be abandoned, presumably in favour of push-to-talk, something we’ve long advocated.
