2.0 out of 5 stars
Needs a to be updated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Data Communications (Hardcover)
Used it as a text book, mainly a reference. With communications rapidly changing it must be difficult to continually update. It is a fair background book, but it doesn't offer much else
2.0 out of 5 stars
Book is too dated to be effective in emerging technologies.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Data Communications (Hardcover)
Although updated in 1994, most of the text material discusses old mainframe and terminal applications and was likely written during earlier editions of the text. Reading it did not provide a good basis for the telecommunications area, because it is so dated. In its day, it must have been a great text.
