Review of Telecom Convergence, 2/e: How to Bridge the Gap Between Technologies and Services (Paperback)

If you work in the telecommunications industry, you'll want to read this book. Even if you don't, this book could help you understand some the the leading trends, technologies and companies that could help you develop aprofitable investment strategy in this hot constantly changingindustry.

It is an excellent blend of technological descriptions andbusiness insight with a touch of prognostication from industry leaders,thinkers and innovators. The book is divided into three main parts: 1) themain technologies feeding convergence, 2) company convergence, and 3)services convergence. A veteran technologist may want to skip the firstpart, but not knowing much about wireless or DSL I found it veryinformative and a good refresher on T-1. Each part ends with a bibliographycontaining references to books, web resources and articles, but the realpayoff is the information gleaned from the author's extensiveinterviews.

I love the multipurpose feel to this book. It is labeled asthe first of the "Portable Consultant" series and is worthy ofthat tag. This is not just a technical book and it is not just a businessbook, it is both, not an easy thing to do. Like a good consultant it ispacked full of useful information and easy to understand explanations.
