This was a good starter book. While it had some technical stuff in it, the diagrams really helped me explain this technology to my staff.

This is a good introductory book for Telecom people who are looking to get into IP Telephony.The diagrams are good and the explanation are easy to understand.I even talked to the author and he was helpful.

While writing for my thesis on "VoIP for SME's", I read a couple of VoIP books. The book from Mr. Harte is very brief (and the layout/cover is not very attractive, it seems very outdated). Considering the price of the book, it has a very bad price/info ratio. If you want to read a primer, I would recommend VoIP for dummies. For more advanced reading, try Voice over packet networks from Wright (you need to know the fundamentals, before you read this one!).

As an expert in rare violins with extensive experience at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Antiques Roadshow, I always thought I was able to telephony. Turns out I didn't know the first thing about it! Live and learn, I always say. Thanks for opening my eyes, Mr. Harte.

Do NOT buy this PDF if you are a serious professional and want to work for VoIP. You will waste your money buying this and waste your time reading this. I do not think I can give even one star to this book. However Amazon does not accept review if I do not give at least one star hence I have give that rating.
