2.0 out of 5 stars
Section on regulation very disappointing, May 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Telecommunications Handbook (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I recently joined the in-house legal department of a telecom company and wanted to know more about telecom regulation. I saw the book in a bookstore and, seeing that it had about 150 pages on regulation, ordered it through amazon later. Big mistake. The regulation section is a series of almost completely random articles on the subject of regulation - whatever they could get a contributor to write about, I guess. I wanted a structured intro into US telecom regulation. While there is some coverage it is not presented as a guide and there is a lot of utterly useless stuff - for an example, a discussion of the Gambian experience in deregulation (I wish I was making this up..). I had planned to read the rest of the book for general industry reference, but assuming it is of similar quality, it is hard for me to work up the energy to do so.
