3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad overview - but so very American centric, July 20, 2000
By Michael Slevin (Co. Dublin, dub Ireland) - See all my reviews
Rather Disappointed - Its a good book if you want an overview of the technologies involved and a light read - but very USA focused - examples of technology deployment are all US as is the competitive environment. Regulatory environment discussion (including FCC-related Annex) covers 62 pages, 1 page of which is entitled "the international scene" and discusses the example of Pakistan and Netherlands! Lastly - management and billing of convergant network occupies <4pages in total.
