Summary:

Aspiring to write an engineering book that is as interesting to managers with humanities background as humanities books are to some engineers, Varrall analyzes technology and engineering in the context of the impact of invention and innovation on the political, social, and economic dynamics of the global telecommunications industry, tracing the transition and transformation that has occurred particularly since fixed and mobile broadband has become such a dominant deliverable. (How is he doing so far?) He covers user and network hardware and software. Among his topics are physical layer connectivity, wireless user hardware, software centered on information, wireless core network hardware, and server software.
