Product Description
Broadband Satellite Communications for Internet Access is a systems engineering methodology for satellite communication networks. It discusses the implementation of Internet applications that involve network design issues usually addressed in standard organizations.

Expensive and Terrible, 30 May 2006
By Joel Sing - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Broadband Satellite Communications for Internet Access (Hardcover)
This is one of the worst books I have ever seen - effectively a PhD thesis poorly converted into a over priced book that is full of technical, grammatical and typographical errors. For example, the following paragraph is from page 56 of the book:
"McDonalds began a trial program in New York City that offers an hour of free 'Intel-verified' WLAN access for a 60-mintue [sic] session for a nominal fee."
I have no idea how something like this could get past the editors, let alone the spell checker. Being a PhD candidate I can identify the technical errors, however someone who is not up to speed would easily mistake them as fact.
Most of the diagrams are very ordinary - certainly not of a quality that matches the price tag. About the only thing going for this book is the fact that it provides a broad summary of the area and has a large bibliography, which in turn provides references to more accurate and useful material.
If you need a book on this topic I'd suggest checking out Zhili Sun's "Satellite Networking : Principles and Protocols".
