It seems like if you are calling another network, your network should be able to terminate your HD voice call at the edge, and you would still get at least wired telephone quality.

That's what you get, and it's bad. It's so bad these days I can't stand talking on the phone to anyone who isn't using data (facetime, etc) or HD Voice. I literally cannot understand what people are saying half the time. And company support phone numbers? The worst. Their callcenters are using terrible voip with overloaded trunks. It feels like we've spent the last 10 years trying to kill the phone call.

  Isn't landline better quality than cell?

    Landlines are limited to whatever quality 100 year old degrading copper lines can carry. It's the bare minimum. I had thought for a long time 3G and better had wider bandwidth. I'm not certain though.

I don't think the carriers would want to, a traditional voice call is 'less expensive' than a HD Voice call.
