Description
In all major economies, telecommunications are the keystone of information technology. This text uses the model of British Telecom to trace the policy and mangement framework in which a multi-faceted business can evolve to cope with the demands of a competitive environment. The object of the book is not to set out a series of textbook answers, but to enable developing countries to learn from British experience - mistakes as well as successes.
