`Harry Newtonhasspent 32 years studying, writing, lecturing and
`investing in telecom and technology. He founded LAN (now Network),
`Teleconnect, Call Center, Computer Telephony and Technology Investor
`magazines. He also founded the trade shows, Computer Telephony
`Conference and Exhibition (CT Expo) and Call Center Demo. Hesold his
`telecom publishing empire in September 1997 to concentrate on writing.
`Newton has an MBAfromthe Harvard Business School and an Economics degree
`from the University of Sydney, Australia. He is not an engineer. He wrote this dictionary
`to teach himselfhis first loves — telecom and technology. In this dictionary, Newton
`explains complex technology in non-technical business language. He believes that anyone
`in business should be able to understand the most complex technical terms. He also
`believesit's critical to understand what the technology does, what its benefits are and the
`key tips to using andinstallingit.
`Mostdictionaries are updated every ten to twenty years. Not this one. Newton
`and his staff update this dictionary every day of the year and issue a new, expanded,
`fixed, improved and updated edition every year. This edition is current as of early 2003.
