Regulation of Wireless Communications Systems

Summary: does not cover hot regulatory issues in wireless comm
Review: I have read this book being a person currently involed doing research in Radio Communications and at the same time writing something on Wireless Regulation. Even though the book is excellent in presentation,it is always use simple and plain language. The topics should be included such as Numbering( Number portability in Mobile Networks), Roaming of Mobile Networks, regulatory issues such as Licensing an Operator,Interconnection with paricular reference to Calling Party Pays, Quality of Services provided by wireless networks, issues relating to co existence of two systems(eg. DECT and PHS),IMT-2000 and GMPCS, Radio Spectrum Migration of existing users and services to give way to new services, etc.

The authors may claim that these are covered in the book. But I would say these rather not adequately covered and more information on North American Wireless Market. What about Asia, Europe and Africa. What about general issues relating the non availability of global standards in Wireless Communications?

Even though our Library purchased, it is not a good reference even I have given 4stars.

Summary: A Home Run on the subject of wireless!
Review: This book is not filled with boring formulas like others you'll find on the subject of communications. You'll be surprised how easy it is to read. It's also the only communications book I know of that mentions baseball legend Leo (the Lip) Deroucher in Chapter 10! Fred Day is an avid baseball fan, and he adeptly ties his two loves of sports and communications together.
