The book is divided into two sections: technological issues and interface issues. Separate chapters on advanced copper, optical fibre, advanced optical and radio access technologies, the powering of access networks, ATM in the access network and the supported services are included.

This book presents a rigorous empirical exploration of the ideas of George Herbert Mead.
