From the Back Cover

Meet the need for data speed with the right technology. Demand for high-speed data transmission couldn't be more intense, with an exponentially growing curve of Internet users wearying of the "World Wide Wait" and dreaming of downloaded movies, music, multimedia, and more. For data, telecommunications, and Internet connectivity providers, the future looks bright-unless you choose the wrong access

technology. This guide helps you make the right choice for your customer base among DSL, cable modem, fiber, and wireless. It gives you up-to-date information on these top competing technologies and can take the nail biting out of a make-or-break business decision. Written by Albert Azzam, a 27-year telecommunications veteran, ADSL expert, and contributor to the high-speed cable modem standard; and by Niel Ransom, also a telecom veteran and a communications specialist with Alcatel, Broadband Access Technologies gives you the data you need to: draw clear distinctions among the top competing access technologies; rate the advantages and disadvantages of each technology using up-to-date information; assess the impact of new network services and advanced applications; contrast the outlook in the United States and Europe; compare broadband network vENDors; discover alternative technologies, including power-line transmissions; select the right access technology for your customer demographics. For telecommunications, data, and internet service providers, cable TV operators, managers and technicians-as well as investors-this is the book that makes sense of broadband access.
