The Management of Telecommunications: Business Solutions to Business Problems

This book has some fantastic material in it. I am now teaching college. Whenever I get a chance to recommend a book, I always recommend my students use this book. It has a phenomenal section about telecommunication laws that is outstanding for using in lectures. It reads well, and is very helpful!

Having taken the course that this book is for, I quickly learned the basics of Telecommunications. The author's designed the layout of the text to be an easy entry to this vast technical field. Each chapter is introduced with a general "story", sometimes several stories, that explains in layman's terms the overall concept. Then the text explains the information on a more technical level. Some of the information presented IS outdated but all of it is relevant. The authors included this "outdated" information to show just what has been accomplished in the arena of Telecom. But they also introduce some of what is to come. A "Thumbs Up" to both of the authors for publishing a great text.

I did not have much previous knowledge of telecommunications and their use in the business world. I feel that this text is an excellent introduction for any executive or student who has no prior experience with this topic. It is well written and flows very well. It is written in a manner than anyone can take it and gain a world of knowledge about the telecom industry.
