What makes this a good dictionary is that you can read most of the definitions without having to lookup lots of words in the definitions and you get a good understanding of the term. Further, it is written by someone who is trying to communicate the information you need to really understand the word or acronym.
It also has some entertaining telecommunications history. For example see the entries under "capacity swaps" and "Captain Crunch" which are on our sample page from an earlier edition.
This dictionary is an enjoyable read and a good reference that demystifies the topics covered.

Customer comments:
"I needed this book for my new promotion, they did not have it in at the time I contacted them, it was just released, BUT they stayed in touch with me everyday until they got it in and shipped it out to me that same day. I was very impressed and will purchase the next edition of this necessary Telecom Dictionary from them as soon as I know it is available. Very caring merchant. Excellent price and no shipping costs with the purchase of 2 of these invaluable books. Thanks eLearn Aid."
