"This book is required reading for engineers and other technical readers interested in a career in telecommunications, which in the next millenium, will rely heavily upon a cable television infrastructure. It offers the best comprehensive look at cable television technology that I have seen. I congratulate the authors on a job well done.
Dr. Richard Green, President and CEO, CableLabs
"During my 24 years in the cable television industry, I have not encountered more qualified engineers than Ciciora, Farmer, and Large. I have already learned much from them as colleagues. Now, this combined wealth of technical knowledge is available to everyone."

Customer Reviews & Comments
The text covers the subject of cable television from an introductory level up to engineering levels. I particularly liked the coverage of current issues in cable, such as Impulse pay per view. The chapter on modulation was informative. With my physics background I was happy to see the book has a good scattering of equations. An equation is indispensable in many situations.
