General book for non specialist
I am non american, so that I can't evaluate the style of the author or his business capacity... Nevertheless, I think that this is one of the few books on this topic who presents a general view on ISP architecture and business. If someone knows an other book on this topic, I am interested in!!
It's not a book for specialist, you must not expect to configure cisco routers with it. But if you already know the basic of networks, it's a good introduction to ISP

Gran recurso de investigación para redes ISP
El libro muestra paso a paso las diferentes necesidades y actividades necesarias para diseñar una infraestructura ISP. Comenzando desde los aspectos teóricos de arquitectura, infraestrucutra, ruteo, administración de red, seguridad, etc; hasta los aspectos legales u organizacionales del ambiente Internet-ISP.
A mi criterio, temas que faltaron fueron: Primero modelos matemáticos y/o prácticos para el dimensionamiento de las troncales telefónicas (acceso dial up) y ancho de banda WAN . Segundo diferentes posibilidades y escenarios de interconexión internacional. Este último aspecto basado en ISPs fuera de los Estados Unidos.
Como conclusión es un libro ideal para estudiantes de ingeniería con bases intermedias de internetworking.

A call to reason
Readers who found this book lucid and helpful must be part of the editorial staff or the publisher's company.After reading other's negative comments and passing them off as cursory and badly evaluated, I bought the book anyway. To my surprise, the negative comments were understated. The book was poorly written, has enormous gaps in the telecommunications area as related to the practical buildout of an ISP at both the hardware and business level. I returned the book after 10 days of thorough and painful reading. I cannot recommend someone spend money on this book. My apologies to the author but this is an honest response. The author could also use a few more years of grammar and composition before he publishes another book. I'm sure he knows his field but he simply cannot communicate it.
