ETSI also publishes its technical recommendations on CDROM. I'm not certain about the pricing on each of these but I believe it depends on whether you are looking for a one-time delivery, or an annual subscription. I know that ETSI also offers a subscription that allows you to download recommendations via the Internet. ITU-T has a similar arrangement; for a short while, this was free of charge but is now offered on a subscription basis only, as far as I know. I'm sure other bodies have similar arrangements; I believe BABT in the UK has a BBS arrangement for downloading specifications. I had just added a note to say that I wish one could order a single specification by credit card over the Internet. As soon as I'd finished writing this I picked up a copy of "Telecommunications" and it opened on an advertisement from ITU Electronic Bookshop, describing how you can do just that.
