Breaking the barriers
Probably the best show freebie I've had so far was Google's version of the Rubiks cube. But now I've been given something else to keep me amused on a long-haul flight — Alcatel-Lucent's second edition of Breaking the barriers. What's more according to a press release issued today, Alcatel-Lucent is giving away the first few copies at its NXTcomm booth — don't all rush at once!
Breaking the barriers is pitched as a visionary view of operators' broadband access strategies , a subject that's changing so fast that it was necessary to overhaul the content of the book just 18 months after the first edition was published.
The book itself has a minimalist look, finished with a simple plain white dust jacket. But inside it's far from minimalist — it contains no less than 40 contributions from some of the industry's most forward-thinking minds, and includes carrier perspectives on the evolution of their broadband access networks, case studies and regulatory comment, as well as technical discussions from Alcatel-Lucent experts, of course.
Curious? fibresystems.org will be publishing a selection of articles from the book in our white papers section. UPDATE 23/06/08: The first two papers, Citynet Dynamics in Europe - The State of Municipal Fiber to the Home and Fiber Migration - A French Perspective on Very High-Speed Broadband are now online. Enjoy!
