Review title: cheaper than buying CLEC stock
Product review: Buying this book is a lot like buying stock in a CLEC - but you will lose less money! For $, you get 325 pages with no references or documentation of any kind. McDermott makes myriad assertions as with RBOC use of the regulatory process: "They know how best to use it while their competitors looked at the process as a necessary nuisance to be put up with in order for them to get into business." No substantiation needed - this is not an academic treatise but a statement of "truth" from somebody who has been there. The only remaining question is whether this book offers true insight to the CLEC industry and how it thinks of itself, or if this book is merely McDermott's attempt to capitalize on the fact that he was an important player in the industry. In the end, it is a lot like buying CLEC stock: is the business case real or hype?
