About the Author
Editor
Newton works on this dictionary every day of the year, He adds new terms. He updates old terms, He sees this "dictionary" as a combination dictionary/encyclopedia/history/story of the industry. He wants the dictionary to be the definitive record of the industry's progress. Newton entered telecommunications forty six years ago. He started consulting and quickly learned that the industry lacked up-to-date information. (The Internet had not yet been invented.) He went on to create six successful telecommunications magazines -- Teleconnect, Call Center, Computer Telephony, Imaging, LAN (later called Network Magazine), and Telecom Gear. He also founded the immensely successful shows Call Center Demo, and the Computer Telephony Conference and Exposition, which at its peak attracted 26,000 people to the Los Angeles Convention Center. He also published over 47 books on networking, imaging, telecommunications and computer telephony.
Newton has an economics degree from the University of Sydney and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
STEVE SCHOEN
Technical Editor
Steve Schoen began working in the telecommunications industry in 1984, the same year that the first edition of Newton's Telecom Dictionary was published. Steve has worked in a variety of senior telephone company positions over the years, first at GTE, then at Verizon Communications, and now at Hawaiian Telcom. He started out working for one of GTE's local phone companies in Hawaii, and in 1989 moved over to one of GTE's international business units, also located in Hawaii, which became part of Verizon Communications following GTE's merger with Bell Atlantic. He is now Senior Manager Market Research at Hawaiian Telcom, which was formed when Verizon sold off some of its Hawaii operations.
On nights and weekends since the late 1980s, Steve has been moonlighting as an instructor at colleges and universities in Hawaii and on the mainland, teaching C, SQL, database management, and e-business classes, both on-ground and online. He also is a technology columnist for Pacific News Bytes magazine. In prior existences, he taught math in England, worked for a federally funded project that developed textbooks in the native languages of Micronesia, and served four years in the U.S. Army.
ABOUT GAIL SAARI
Artistic Director
Gail Saari has been the designer, artist, production manager, and associate editor for Newton's Telecom Dictionary, 22nd to 30th editions. That means she edits, designs, and produces the dictionary. The pleasure that you get from holding, reading and enjoying this book is directly due to Ms. Saari's superb professional efforts. For an artistic director, she brings a unique skillset to her job. She has an M.A. Summa Cum Laude in International Affairs from Ohio University and a B.A. in English literature from the University of Tennessee. Along the way she developed extensive artistic and technical design skills, having spent almost two decades designing and producing books and monthly print magazines.
Her publications have received the highest accolades from readers and, most importantly, from her clients. Harry Newton says of Ms. Saari, "She is the only artist I've ever worked with who understands the material she's working with, and questions what she sees as problems (she's always right). She makes constructive suggestions, which I always follow. I love the fact that she has a sound grasp of computer and information technologies-their use, their meaning, and their application."
Ms. Saari has worked most recently as Publications and IT Director for The Independent Institute where she oversaw production of books, periodicals, and all things electronic. Previously, she worked as Managing Editor for CMP/Backbeat Books and as Publications Director for the Malaysian Nature Society.
She lived in Malaysia for fifteen years, working as an editor and translator (from Malay to English) for many clients, including Technical and Linguistic Services, the Malaysian National Museum, National History Museum of Malaysia, and the 1998 Commonwealth Games. She has contributed articles on the environment, travel, and culture to Salon.com, Men's Review Magazine, Marie Claire, the Insight Guide to Malaysia, and other publications.
Ms. Saari lives in Berkeley, CA and runs G. Saari Productions, an independent design and production studio, which you can hire, whose clients include The Yoga Room and this dictionary.
