Newton's Telecom
Dictionary, 17th edition
The Official Dictionary of
Telecommunications, Networkin and the Internet
I wrote this book for
those of us in the world's most exciting industries - telecommunications, networking and
the Internet. I deliberately didn't write a book that only geeks could understand. I wrote
a business book that you and I could understand. I explain technical concepts in
non-technical, business language that anyone in business (whether buying, selling or
investing) should be able to understand. Some of my definitions are short. Some are
encyclopedic. My focus is 100% practical. What the term means. What the technology does.
What benefits the technology confers. Which pitfalls to watch for. Use this book in your
day-to-day business life. Dip into it before a meeting with a vendor, a customer, a broker
or a boss. I've got 19 years in this book. My readers and my contributing editor. Ray
Horak, have contributed enormously over the years. By now, all of us have made this
dictionary pretty darn good. I'm proud of this edition.

them. And that, he says, is the ultimate thrill.
