A must for anybody who wants a thorough intro to the subject An amazingly well organized and readable introductory book for anybody who is curious about the telecom/datacom infrastructure. I highly recommend this as the first primer.. One of the better books I have ever read! andrew This book, though based on some older technologies, is truly exceptional. Before reading this book I practically knew nothing about telecommunications and data communications. I now understand everything from how the public phone system works to the OSI model to how bits of data are sent over a fiber optic line.I say this book is based on many older technologies because it is. It talks about modulation and demodulation, and at this point in time I think we are quite a ways from 14.4 modems - which were huge in the 90's, just not so much anymore. However, even though this technology is. "Not for Engineers or anyone with a technical background" according to A Customer. This book covers all the major topics in data communications but does so in a very simplistic manner that barely scratches the surface of any of the topics covered. Of course the breadth of the book is so wide that it would not be possible to cover even a fraction of the topics in any detail.
