I'm not talking about the internet... Picture this... Customer calls
VOICE (ie pots) to the ISP's long distance carrier device... It picked
up, got the number the customer wanted to call, and then placed a call
to a cirtain IP (of the box in the town of destination) and then placed
the call.. boom.. instant LD service.. At 9.6k sync per channel I don't
think there would be much of a problem.

I recently talked to a guy that was an engineer dealing with Sprint PCS
phoneS (I think thats it) and he said their phones are using Spread
Spectrum with variable compression from 2.4k to 19.2k.. Sounds simple
to me.

Personally I see 5-10 years in the future this switched-resource shit
being tossed to the dogs and nice all digital shared resource networks
put into place to handle most all telecommunications... The existing
network is just plain flat outdated compared to technology out today.
