Packed with over 22,400 definitions, it explains technical concepts in non-technical language that anyone can understand. It's used by more leading technology companies for training and employee orientation than any other text.
Four bonus sections include: Harry Newton's favorite money-saving tips for telecom, computing, and more; what happens when telecom services are suddenly free?a vision for this business in the 21st century; how you should orient your precious telecom budget in today's tight times; disaster recovery planning to protect your computing and telecom resources.

This book contains so many industry-specific terms that are applicable to much more than just Telecommunications. You'll even find the odd humorous term sprinkled in there to keep things on the light side. I work in the telecommunications industry, and I have this book on my desk, by my side...Kind of like a small dog that just stares at you with his wet, beady, little eyes - eager to please, and waiting for you to show him the slightest hint of approval.

If you are in the telecom or IT industry or just want to familiarize yourself with terminology and practices relating to both, YOU MUST OWN THIS BOOK! A lot of the definitions are understandably technical but Harry Newton manages to be very informative AND amusing with his casual, down-to-earth writing style.

Used it for a class, but some of the definitions in this book were out of this world. Made for a good laugh. If you have it, look up flasher...

I needed a reference for Telecommunications that I could reference and fall back on while preparing for a Civil Service test to keep my job. Invaluable would be the word I would use. You may never need to use more then 2% of this book but what you need is almost garanteed to be in it if it has to do with Telecom.
Just an everyday Telecomm Info Systems Tech. DL

This should be a mandatory book for anyone working in the telecommunications industry. Not only is it comprehensive, but the explanations are direct, easily understood and sometimes humorous. Anyone who uses "oxymoron" in an explanation gets my vote.
