Newton's Telecom Dictionary has long been required reading for anyone involved in the telecommunications, networking, and Internet industries. It is more essential today than ever before because of the revolutionary changes that continue to unfold. There are many new standards, new technologies, and new vendor-specific terms.
This book is for everyone trying to keep up with the new technologies and terms being created every day. Terms are explained in easy-to-understand definitions and mini essays, sprinkled with Newton's dry wit. This book thoroughly defines terms in an accessible and non-technical manner, using as extensive or as brief an explanation as necessary for each term.

Harry Newton has 31 years studying, writing, lecturing and investing in telecommunications. He founded LAN (now Network), Teleconnect, Call Center and Computer Telephony magazines. He also founded the enormously successful trade shows Computer Telephony Conference and Exposition (CT Expo) and Call Center Demo. Newton has an MBA from the Harvard Business School and an economics degree from the University of Sydney, Australia.
He is not an engineer. He wrote this dictionary to learn enough to be dangerous in front of engineers. That, he says, is the ultimate thrill. Newton explains complex technology in non-technical business language even he can understand. He believes (perhaps naively) that anyone in business should be able to understand complex technical terms -- whatever it takes. As a result, some of his definitions are short. Some are long. He strives to be 100% explanatory and 100% practical -- explaining what the technology means, what it does, what its benefits are and what its pitfalls are.
Most dictionaries are updated every 10 years. Not this one. Newton and his staff update the dictionary every day and issue a new expanded, updated edition every year. This one is current as of early 2002.
