Telecommunications History & Policy into the 21st Century

Telecommunications History & Policy into the 21st Century provides a succinct overview of the telecommunications environment and the factors that have shaped this industry from its inception through 2009. As a former executive with AT&T, Mr. Fulle shares his professional knowledge of an industry that is evolving at an increasing rate.

Each chapter provides a brief summary of key concepts and a list of study questions to invoke discussion and review.
