Telecom Basics

A primer for the telecom industry for anyone who wants or needs to know more about telephone, cable tv, high speed data (internet access), and cellular communications. This is not about the history of the industry, but I will dip down into certain subject areas to give you a taste of the business. I will try to make the complex subject matter readable by non-industry people and will avoid unexplained jargon when possible. Comments, suggestions, & corrections are welcome.
