This site acts as a repository for files related to activities of the
ITU-T SG 16 Circuit-Switched Network Terminals and Systems group.
This is Question 11 of Study Group 16, under the Rapporteur Tom Geary of
Conexant Systems Inc.  For historical reasons, this experts group is sometimes
referred to as the LBC experts group (due to its former work area having
been the subject of former Rapporteur Richard Schaphorst's Low Bit-Rate
Coding experts group within the former Question 2 of Study Group 15 in
the prior study period).

Tom Geary's contact information is:
