Comprehensive textbook for non-technical audience

The text provides a broad (many lecturers will skip the coverage of Shannon's information theory) but not deep coverage of telecommunications, then mobile networks of various kind, and wireless data services. Strengths: The coverage is reasonably complete, the language is clear, and there are many useful illustrations, plus a promise of an online website for instructors and student. Weaknesses: I would have liked deeper coverage of peer-to-peer mobile communications (MMS with phonecams, etc), and the use of RFID in logistics, retailing, etc. It is suitable for an MBA course, and as an advanced text to support an undergraduate IS course, but not for engineers.
