There are hundreds – maybe thousands
– of outside sources for additional
information and help with telecommunications-related
matters. Carriers, manufacturers and suppliers
of every sort are eager to “help”.
A complete listing of publications and organizations
that may be helpful would be outdated the
day it was completed. But for most organizations,
needed help can be obtained from a limited
number of publications, and from regulatory
agencies and consultants for specific problems.
