Review
"Lou Pizzarello; A wealth of information about the Internet technological evolution packed into a concise but in-depth pocket reference manual. Technical journals, typically crafted in the tense and verse of the technical scholar, may inadvertently and unfortunately isolate the reader of business acumen. Mr. Louis has expertly combined cogent and salient information that clearly addresses the needs of the reader from either discipline. The conversational style holds the readers interest while delivering considerable technical content. Highly recommend this book to anyone attempting to enter into the new Internet Business world.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Timely & on target,
By Gary Pellegrino (North Branch, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Telecom Management Crash Course : A Telecom Company Survival Guide (Crash Course) (Paperback)
Mr. Louis has provided a "must have" resource for survival of telecoms. While HRA departments have become somewhat of a profit center with downsizing, the Telecom Management Course book offers an insight that may allow the slowdown of both the cause and effect. Focusing on the TEAM aspect and fundamentals of all Telecom sectors helps one to understand the interaction required to maintain profitability in any environment. Mr. Louis is on target with topic and timely once again.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not Bad,
By Terrence Johnson "Terrence Johnson" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Telecom Management Crash Course : A Telecom Company Survival Guide (Crash Course) (Paperback)
The author referenced the information as advertised but not as completely as I would have liked. Worth the look.

Insight from a trusted advisor,
By Jeff Crollick (Temple Terrace, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Telecom Management Crash Course : A Telecom Company Survival Guide (Crash Course) (Paperback)
Mr. Louis' "tell it like it is" insight into the art of selling products and services in a tumultuous environment is refreshing. He provides succinct advice based on real experiences, in the good times as well as the bad times. I consider this book an essential tool for anyone thinking about entering or surviving in the Telecom arena.
