1 Essential Telecom Reading - Clear and Comprehensive
I work in B2B field sales at a UK 3rd generation mobile phone provider, so I know about the latest telecom services. I have been vaguely aware for the last 12 months of how critical the OSS software to enable the services that we're rolling out now.

Both Hutchison ("3") and Voda (I won't say which one I work with) have pretty solid service offerings now and it's the OSS software that makes it all possible - along, of course, with 3G infrastructure itself. In fact, it's also largely the OSS software that differentiates Hutch and Voda - though the consumer would of course never know that !

I was referred to Kundan's book by a colleague who said that I need to know OSS if I'm going to see the future of 3G and make the really big sales by convincing the big buyers. I can say now that that's the best career advice I've ever received.

Kundan gives a clear overview of OSS software and explains how it fits in the day-to-day business of telecom. I feel that I understand the big picture now and can give rousing sales presentations, free of technical language but big on insight. I've wowed several potential customers who then became my customers solely on the basis of my OSS software knowledge and the insights that stemmed from that.

I would say that I'm pretty unique in my sales team, as being up on OSS software. But my colleagues are beginning to see the difference that the knowledge makes to my effectiveness in the field.

I would recommend Kundan's book to anyone in telecom sales or anyone at a professional management level in the telecom industry.

2 I'm impressed
I have just started to read the book "OSS for Telecom Networks". Main reason for reading this book is, as stated, in the introduction: I needed some general information about the industry that I have been working in for the past 4 years.

I must say that I was a little bit surprised that there is no general stuff from the company where I work, Incatel.

After only a few years in this business I don't have much experience, but I work in a very challenging area: Project Management.

I am currently running a two year implementation project for a large European Telecom Operator. I find this very Interesting and challenging. A lot of the knowledge I now have gained seems to be covered in your book. I'm impressed.

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed from available

data.  Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon

shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold,

as the light of seven days."  Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much

radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition seven times seven (49) times

as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or fifty times in all.  The light we

receive from the Moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the

Sun, so we can ignore that.  With these data we can compute the temperature

of Heaven.  The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where

the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation,

i.e., Heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the Earth by radiation.  Using

the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute

temperature of the earth (~300K), gives H as 798K (525C).  The exact

temperature of Hell cannot be computed, but it must be less than 444.6C, the

temperature at which brimstone or sulphur changes from a liquid to a gas.

Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their

part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."  A lake of molten

brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point,

or 444.6C  (Above this point it would be a vapor, not a lake.)  We have,

then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.
