G.729 and G.711 is so awful and awfully dated, Where's G.722?

When will HD voice be active? It seems everywhere I go mobile carriers are moving to HD VoIP themselves and using some some repackaged version of G.722 to make it compatible on there networks to replace the old gsm and g.711. The GSM, G.729 and G.711 codecs certainly need to die and hopefully a quick and painful death.

AT&T is supposed to have HD voice via VoLTE late this year but Verizon is to have it released the first half of this year. Sprint is supposed to be releasing this year as well but its seems further confirmation was not able to be retrieved to fully confirm it.

What saddens me is the most VoIP equipment produced in the last 5 years already supports G.722 and all it would take is turning it on and fixing a few bugs and iron out a few wrinkles and its good to go. However, it seems most VoIP providers have been complacent when to comes to adopting new technologies. Hold on here I said new technologies and G.722 is not new and the codec was finalized in 1989. Plus in the past 8 years we have had broadband that can easily use the G.722 codec.

So with this info in mind it seems most VoIP companies are behind the curve and its time to catch up. G.722 doesn't use much more bandwidth and last I checked it was just half an Kilobyte more.

So again I ask when will G.722 be available? Is there a beta I can use? If so could you add it to my account to use the codec?

BTW Callcentric already has G.722 available. Been playing around with it and the difference is remarkable. Although it isn't true HD there is still a noticeable difference when I speak pots line users and is awesome when I speak to another G.722 user.
