Summary: If you got the 16th edition, you should be covered.
Comment: Being that telecom expands with new telephony techniques and bandwith growth every year, the need for a new Dictionary is very much needed. BUT........ terms, phrases and meanings haven't changed just pretty much how these terms relate to each other. Circuit-to-circuit switching in a DMS or 5E has been updated in the past 2 years to circuit-to-packet and now for this year it's packet-to-packet switching (voice over I.P. switching by Sonus) to add even more capabilties over the same circuit. Same old phrases just more confusion for the non-engineer and technician. If you have the 16th edition, check with someone who has this 17. There isn't that much more added, but if this is your 1st purchase of this series of Dictionarys, then of course get the 17th.
Not at all, am I downing this book. Just trying to save money for those who have the 16th.

Summary: Superior Dictionary worth its' weight in gold!
Comment: I was first introduced to Newton's TeleCom Dictionary while serving as a MARS Operator aboard U.S.S. England (CG-22) in the early to mid-80's. This book is exactly what it purports to be - a dictionary for modern day Telecom professionals. It is not designed to fully explain concepts of Telecommunications - rather it is designed to serve as a basic reference for those times when you quickly need to know the meaning of an acronym. From the definition contained in Newton's you can then move on to more in-depth sources of information. A neat feature are the updates via Internet. This book covers a vast and broad area and does it extremely well. It should be a standard reference for all CT and IT professionals. Well worth the price.
