Description

This is the world's bestselling and most comprehensive reference book on telecom, data communications, networking, computing and the Internet, with over 675,000 copies sold. Featuring 500 new terms plus hundreds more updated and expanded entries, the 21st edition of Newton's Telecom Dictionary weighs in at over four times larger than any other telecom and IT dictionary, and includes wireless, broadband, VoIP, RIFD, and fiber optics terms. Packed with over 22,400 definitions, it explains technical concepts in non-technical language that anyone can understand. It's used by more leading technology companies for training and employee orientation than any other text. Four bonus sections include: Harry Newton's favorite money-saving tips for telecom, computing, and more; what happens when telecom services are suddenly free?—a vision for this business in the 21st century; how you should orient your precious telecom budget in today's tight times; disaster recovery planning to protect your computing and telecom resources. Most dictionaries are updated every ten to twenty years. Not this one. Newton updates this dictionary every day and issues a new, expanded, improved and updated edition every ear. This edition is current as of Spring 2005. Read more

    • What you see is what you get, and what you see is AWESOME
This book contains so many industry-specific terms that are applicable to much more than just Telecommunications. You'll even find the odd humorous term sprinkled in there to keep things on the light side. I work in the telecommunications industry, and I have this book on my desk, by my side...Kind of like a small dog that just stares at you with his wet, beady, little eyes - eager to please, and waiting for you to show him the slightest hint of approval. I bought last years edition, and it was dirt cheap (and still painfully relevant). If you're in IT/Networking/Telecommunications, there really isn't an excuse not to own this. ... show more

    • If you can have only one telecom book...
make it this one. Run across an unfamiliar acronym? Wikipedia can't help? Crack open the Newton's. "Comprehensive" doesn't do it justice. It's funny, too.

    • Gets Better with Age (& Editions!)
I've been buying Netwon's Telecom Dictionary since it first came out many years ago. This reference text is the gold standard for professionals in the Voice and Data industries. If you work in IT or telephony, I srongly recommend you keep an up to date copy close at hand. Whenever I can, I try to give copies of Newton's Telecom Dictionary away to students in my TrainingCity.com classes. All of them tell me it's the best part of attending my class! In reviewing the latest edition, I found numerous new definitions and all sorts of outstanding updates to older items. Once again, you simply cannot go wrong buying this book! ... show more

    • Newtons Ok. Certainly the price was right.
Just finished a Computer Information Systems class and very glad I had Newtons. All of my classmates struggled finding simple defintions such as "JAVA", although I was surprised not to find "People Soft" in it. Made the class a lot easier, and made me walk away from the class with my moneys worth. While [...] just as good (and free), it's not a book is it? Books will be there in 30 years. Where will the ebook in your RAM be in 30 years. ... show more

Very useful directory for orientation in this uneasy world of telecommunications. So wide spectrum of presented clauses does it, already 21 under the account the edition, the irreplaceable assistant in work. It is necessary as the experts directly connected with this sphere, and those who wishes to have the authentic and qualified information for the general development. ... show more

This is the book for those of us who get caught up in acronym soup. Easy, concise, detailed, and easy to use.

    • Amazing, indispensable, and aggravating.
The Newton's Telecom Dictionary, now in its twenty-first edition, is my dear friend. Like all dear friends, I would not exchange it for a dozen others, but its personality quirks have an unparalleled ability to drive me stark-bonkers. Let us nitpick those quirks first. First, there are some minor typesetting and proof-reading errors (such as missing periods, or a rare incomplete sentence at the end of a definition - see "snickelway"). With a volume of work this large, the punctuation is understandable but the incomplete sentences are bothersome. The second quirk is the editor-in-chief's (Harry Newton) admittedly lackadaisical approach to which proprietary terms and technologies he will define; the dictionary has failed me on one or two occasions when I was researching for a project. Why, then, is it my old and dear friend? The 960-pages of definitions more than make up for these flaws, and the very lackadaisical approach which prohibits it from ever being truly exhaustive also allows it to shape its focus to the more relevant pieces of technology. It may have missed one or two definitions, but it has always delivered on the fundamentals. There are also countless hidden-gems of geek-slang, market-speak and historical-interest that make idly leafing through this dictionary an inspirational pleasure. (Again, see "snickelway.") This dictionary has been useful at several points in my career, and I expect that in the future it will remain that old dear friend whom you only occasionally wish to throttle. ... show more
