Finally, I can make sense of my telecom guys! by Robert Paxton  5 Stars
April 19, 2009
I do technical work in a large call center, and not a week goes by that I don't find myself reaching for this manual to figure out what the phone guys are saying.
It also makes strangely entertaining reading, a la Eric Raymond's New Hacker's Dictionary...the editor does a good job of adding context where needed, and is entertaining while doing it. Thus, I find myself reaching out to find out what a "resporg" is, and getting carried away in all this other cool stuff.
Highly recommended not only for people who work with telecom folks, but for general techie types - - network, computer, or jack-of-all-trades.

The best telecom dictionary around by Graybeard (USA) 5 Stars
November 21, 2008
Having worked in telecommunications for over 20 years, and having seen many different telecom textbooks and dictionaries, I can say that hands down, Newton's Telecom Dictionary is the best telecom dictionary around. The author does an excellent job of explaining both the technical side and the business side of telecom, and he does an excellent job of keeping the dictionary up-to-date. Each year 500 to 1,000 new definitions are added to the dictionary, and existing definitions are tweaked to keep them current or to improve them in some other way. I like this ongoing commitment. Another interesting thing about this dictionary is that it shows the role and impact of telecom and networking in specific industries, government, the military, human history, and society. And, as an extra little treat, the author sprinkles humorous entries here and there in the dictionary, which make for nice entertainment when one comes across them. Oh yes, the price is excellent, too. In spite of the book's necessarily steadily increasing page count (the book now contains nearly 25,000 definitions), the author has managed to keep the price the same or about the same, year after year after year, which tells me that the author is conscientious about keeping the book affordable. For telecom old-timers and newbies alike, this is the dictionary to get.

Newton's Telecom Dictionary by Lynn A. Medas 5 Stars
September 24, 2008
I bought this book for my son who works in the Telecom business. He was very happy to get it and has told me almost every week how much he has used it. He carries it in his work truck and has even had other employees ask to use it.

Newton's Telecom by Gary Crowe (Houston, Texas) 5 Stars
August 29, 2008
As a telecom professional with 30 years of experience, this book is always at my desk. There are just too many acronyms and terms to keep them all in your head. Harry Newton also provides great tips, history and insight which would span many other reference books in his concide disctionary.
