Telecosmos: The Next Great Telecom Revolution

256 pages | 2004 | PDF | 2 Mb Rest assured, the John Edwards who wrote Telecosmos is almost assuredly not the multimillionaire trial attorney who ran on the undercard of the Democratic ticket for US President in 2004. This John Edwards is a journalist with a lifelong delight in and passion for advances in telecommunications technology. This passion was no doubt requisite in order for him to compile the material for this book (some of which is truly esoteric). A similar passion is also a requirement for the reader, in order to make it to the end. Telecosmos does not live up to the potential it could have achieved because John Edwards misses the opportunity to create a book that appeals to and inspires the masses. He is correct in his main thesis, which is that the telecom bust the industry has endured from 2000 to 2004 is but a pause in the long-term advancement of communications technology, products and services. The telecom industry is far from mature (we don't even have widespread video telephony, as first shown at the 1964 World's Fair), and there are major advances coming in the future, as soon as they can be moved from the lab to the real world.
