 Telecommunications Overview June 11, 2002
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an excellent quick reference telecommunication book. It covers different voice and data topics with applications in the real world. The author is up to date with the most recent changes in telecommunications field (divestitures, mergers, etc.) It needs more detail on VoIP and there is no information about bluetooth wireless technology, which author should consider for the future editions. I would recommend this book as a quick reference material.

Worthless garbage January 20, 2002
16 out of 22 found this review helpful
This book is obviously written by a person who knows the buzzwords, but fails to understand the technology. It is perhaps the most inaccurate book on technology available. Throughout the book there is mistruth and a glowing misconception of how technology works, particularly related to data network concepts. For example, Annabel claims the following four capabilites of network routers:1) Sequencing
2) Path Optimization
3) Flow Control
4) Receipt Acknowledgement Lets see... 1) wrong, 2) sorta, 3) wrong and 4) wrong. This is just one of many examples throughout the book where the fundamentals are completely trampled on. Rather than buy this book, send the money directly to the author and ask her to read a few good books about the topics she tries to cover rather than contributing a truly awful book in this category.

This book makes far too many assumptions about the previous knowledge of its readers with regard to this topic. I wanted this book to learn more about this this subject. All it did was reinforce what i do not know.
 I regret that there is not an Oscar given to Authors ! November 2, 2001

After reading Annabel's latest book, I regret that there is not an Oscar given to authors. ANI,DNIS,ILEC,MMDS,etc. Are you familiar with all of these terms? If you are, then you move to the front of the class. If you are not, then you're among 90 percent of the population that might just be missing out on some of the latest technological advancements that can significantly impact your business and increase your bottom line. Is pays to read her new book, and gain an insight in this fast changing field..
