FINALLY A BOOK ON THE SUBJECT THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND

Love this book. The author's style is clearly easy to understand and also makes the book interesting to read. Not to mention the great graphics - quality and the number of supporting graphics that most other books are lacking. Great to have found a book that also includes the objectives and quizzes for each chapter. Good job Bates!

Everything you need to know about voice and data

While this is a big fat book this was a very easy read. Just about everything was covered in the voice and data world, anyone working in either field would have a good history and working knowledge what where we have been where we are and where we are going.

Everything about Telecom and voice and data in one place!

As a product manager for a major telecom company, I need a book that I can reference quickly for a complete overview on topics such as SONET, Frame Relay and ADSL. This book fits the bill for me.

Best introductory book I've seen

This is easily the best introductory book I've run across. It covers a wide range of topics in a manner that is conversational rather than dry and boring. It's an easy read and they make some very complicated subject matter very easy to understand. I was constantly amazed at how the material sprang off the page. Some outstanding historical material as well -- excellent overview of where the phone system came from.

In an industry that seems to be growing exponentially, this book may be your 'bible' in terms of keeping in tune with the ongoing advancements in information technologies. I am in sales and this book has given me a new perspective on things that I talked about daily-- but was not aware...
