Review: If you are a non-technical person (I am a lawyer, with zero mathematical or engineering background) and looking for a place to begin learning about telecommunications technologies, here's the book. I had gone through at least a half-dozen "basic" telecom technology books, and found that they would invariably lapse into techno-speak; creating large gaps in my understanding of the subject matter. Not so here. The author is very patient with his readers. When a concept is important, he says so, takes his time, and uses good examples from the everyday world (i.e. analogies to travel agents) to help bring his readers along.

Rating:
Summary: Good protocols overview
Review: If you need a reference book this is a good one. It is not detailed enough to be used by professional, but it is useful to students. The Cellular Networks,ATM and SONET parts are not the best. LAN related parts are quite good.
