Summary: A terrible disappointment
Comment: It's difficult to know who would find this book truly useful. It spends the majority of its time justifying why VOIP is a good thing for companies. It discusses various schemes for attaching your VOIP-enabled business to the outside world though doesn't have enough detail to equip the reader to actually go ahead and plan something. As a source of sound bites with which to impress the CEO, it might be useful. Unfortunately, I bought the book to find some useful insight into implementing VOIP in a SOHO environment. The only significant reference to VOIP in the home is nothing more than a justification for installing broadband. It's a chapter of a meagre three-and-a-half pages. An awful lot of the book seems to concentrate on assessing the cost of POTS services against VOIP. Unfortunately for UK readers, this is based very much on the way in which service operators charge in the US. The assumption that local calls over PSTN are free, for example, is significantly different to the situation in the UK. All in all, I found very little in this book of value.

Summary: A great intro to VoIP but a little pricey
Comment: This is a good intoduction book for anyone interested in trying VoIP and wishing to get a basic principal of the technology. However a cover price of £16.99 is a little pricey but you should make many times this back in call savings if you start using VoIP after you have read it.
