I read most of "ISP Survival Guide" by Geoff Huston. It's good, but I would imagine at a higher level than Howard's book. Higher-level as in the 1000-ft view rather than the down-in-the trenches view. Huston's book is highly technical, don't get me wrong, but I think it's more for the technical manager type. Howard's book is probably for the engineers that actually do the design and implementation. I'm sure he covers some business issues too, (since you have to understand these to run an ISP), but I would imagine there's more technical depth. (I haven't seen Howard's book yet though.)
Priscilla P.S. I disagree that Howard's sense of humor is inapt! ;-) At 05:57 PM 6/4/02, Nigel Taylor wrote: >All, >I just received my copy of Howard's latest book and I'm excited to get >started >reading this title.
