%T   "Information Superhighways Revisited: The Economics of Multimedia"
 
After the rash of recent "blue sky" offerings about the informmercial
supercliche, it is nice to see a thoroughly informed and realistically
analytical book about high bandwidth networks.  This work is still tied closely
to US regulations and their proposed (or should it be "promised") National
Information Infrastructure, but it is possibly illustrative for other
countries.
 
This volume does look practically at current and developing technologies. 
Economics and especially the legislative and public policy factors are a
primary emphasis.
