Conclusion

As a conclusion to our talk we should say that the situation in the speech coding for the Internet is somewhat difficult. The Internet posed some serious problems which so far have not been totally solved. We stress again that most of the effort in this field right now is put into the channel coding. Whereas the source coders (speech coders) are inherited from the circuit switched environment.

On the other hand the Internet has loosen some restrictions which opened new horizons for the research and the development in this field. These horizons might be exploited if the right methods will be found.
