Not necessarly. This depends on available bandwidth ;-)

We have distributed repeaters and a central hub. We're using high 
quality / high bandwidth for interlinks between repeaters and the hub. 
But the hub also accepts IAX2 connections from 3G/mobile users (using 
softphones such as Zoiper). When mobile network is poor, or when 
driving, using low-bandwidth codecs such as iLBC or Speex does have a 
sense. Codec can be choosen by users on the client side.
