This book was an extremely poor pick. The theory behind the OSI Reference Model is not given at all. The first 3 layers are covered to some basic extent. Overall, the book seems to be a series of long PowerPoint presentations put together in book format. By PowerPoint presentations, I am referring to each page being a list of "bullet-point" phrases that is only there to give a reader a guideline for the lecture she is hearing. Unfortunately, there is no accompanying lecture, so the presentation is totally useless. Altogether, this was a waste of money.

This book is very helpful. It is hard to find a book which merges telecommunication concepts with computer technology concepts. This book was well worth the investment.

I thought the book was very helpful. The book provided a great connection between the OSI Reference model and a telecommunications environment. Both of these enties have to work together and the approach in this book made it helpful to understand. The diagrams were also helpful and I found the approach of itemizing the information instead of paragraph form made it easier find me information and go on.

This book has provided me with a single point of reference to understand telecommunication environments. I purchased this book at a local book store and went back the next day to buy a copy for the folks that work for me and they have sold out. I recommend this book to anyone who has anything to do with telecommunications. I believe this book will also assist me at home to build a LAN network.

There is a lot of white space in the book and quite a few text. The rest is printed power point slides assembled as a book. Content is moderate. This book could be useful as a reference when some short information or summarized facts needed on any data communication topis. However it is not suitable to learn by selfstudy because of lack of text.

Great resource to use when setting up telecom for computers.
