Expensive (2009-02-24)
This is the most expensive textbook that I have ever bought. It is the seventh edition of the book and still it has spelling errors. You would think that if you are paying that much it should be perfect.

On the other hand it is up to date in technology. Networks and telecommunications are in constant change. This book keeps up with those changes.

telecom without the intimidation (2009-02-22)
Panko succeeds where others fail: to give the reader a 'kind' introduction to telecommunications. Focusing on a basic, introductory understanding of the material, Panko offers clear, simplistic explanations and diagrams to illustrate what would otherwise be dense material. Once this material is grasped, it is easier for readers to move to a more detailed text. But from a cursory standpoint, Panko does just what he set out to do: to give an introduction to this subject with just enough of a 'bite' for students with little or no prior background to decide whether or not this is a field they might like to pursue further.

Awsome book for the Price (2008-09-11)
This book does not even look like it was used, it is in very good condition.

Misinformation (2000-11-07)
Beginners may find this book easy to understand, however the content isn't there. Just glancing through this book I found several examples of incorrect information. Furthormore the author tends to create his own acronyms rather then using the industry standard terms and definitions.

Great for Beginners and Intermediates... (2000-02-22)
I actually had to buy this book for a college class however the class didn't require a thorough reading of the book. Well, after the class, months after, I went back to the book and re-read it and I must say, it's a great book. It goes over networking hardware, the OSI layer and has several diagrams. I really found this book to be helpful.
