Dodd (Northeastern U.) writes with the understanding that business people and other non-technical professionals need basic information but also need to be treated with respect, a feat she accomplishes by focusing on the real world of intense industry competition, new technologies that seem to appear in nanoseconds, and very real fears about security an reliability. She starts with basic concepts such as digital communications, speed and capacity, the VoIP system, circuit-switched PBXs and cabling, relating each to business situations, then overviews the industry since the Great Divestiture of 1984, public networks, and specialized network services, and runs through the basics behind advanced technologies, cable TV networks, the Internet, wireless service, wireless broadband, sensor networks, and personal area networks.
