Hardcover. Though it seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, the Bandwidth adventure was a multi-decade rollercoaster ride involving larger-than-life successes and devastating failures. The unbridled ambition of newly minted billionaires and high-profile tycoons created extraordinary value, unprecedented value destruction, and endless opportunities for a brave few.This reflects tech's past, present, and future--and is a story you won't soon forget. Between the monumental breakup of AT&T, the largely unnoticed birth of the Internet, and the establishment of mobile communications and fiber optic networks, the early eighties were rife with upheaval. The collision of these four events ignited a revolution that would forever change how humankind worked, played, educated, and entertained. This boom was a time of insight, creativity, and courage accompanied by deception, fraud, and prison sentences. The pace of consolidation was fierce--but soon, the bubble burst, and the industry was met with ruin. Few could see that the stage was set for a glorious rebirth.No one knows this boom-bust-rebirth cycle better than Dan Caruso, one of the changemakers who largely shaped the modern communications age. At the dawn of the digital revolution, he was about to embark on an adventure that would not only impact the course of his life for decades to come, but permanently change the very essence of how people relate to each other on a daily basis.For the first time, Caruso pulls back the curtain in Bandwidth, a no-holds-barred memoir that celebrates the pioneers who invented the Internet's early backbones, the renegades who lit the fiber revolution, the antics that caused it to all come crashing down, and the new wave of entrepreneurs who rose the industry back from its ashes.With insights into the cyclical nature of innovation and the indomitable spirit of human ingenuity, Bandwidth is a powerful saga that shines a light on how history may be repeating itself as the AI, quantum, and blockchain Boom cycle is taking hold. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
