This book integrates business issues involving the telecommunications industry using Porter’s Competitive Forces and Supply Chain models, to technical principles of the inner-workings of data communication and telecommunications. Some issues covered include: computer timing in distributed systems, multiplexing, circuit- and packet-switching, and protocol architecture. These technical issues are prefaced with an overview of client-server and three-layer architecture. The book concludes with material on the web and the standards and regulation processes, facing firms in this industry.
