If you only can read one book on the subject, this is it.
Written by experts in the field of computer networking and telco engineers it gives clear explanation of POTS infrastructure and data networking fundamentals, including the internet architecture. A lot of pages are devoted to “dying” technologies, such as X.25, ATM, and frame relay. Hot topics such as TCP/IP and Ethernet don’t get enough coverage in my opinion. Even so, the book deserves 5 stars because even though it may not have everything, it does cover a lot and it does it well and with some sense of humor. There is no “filler” in this book. Besides, other books on the subject are ether too light (Dodd and Golenievsky), too technical (Freeman and Minoli) or
too wordy and biased towards telco point of view (Bates and Horak)
I must say I liked Horak’s “Communications systems and networks” too — it has a lot of complimentary and interesting details, historical notes and is written in a warm and loving style. I recommend you to read it before Hill’s book if you are really interested in telecommunications.

I read the book and I was lost inside all those details and subtitles that the author goes through trying to stuff so many technical terms without really explaining the concepts of the main technologies for the “Beginners” as the book title promises. I expected more from this book when I read the title, the index and the reviews above.
