""A good telling of the story of the invention of the cable modem."" --Peter Jones is distinguished engineer emerita at Cisco and an active member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) ""Rouzbeh Yassini-Fard led the vision for the cable industry that the cable plant could provide Internet to your home. The pioneering work that Rouzbeh and his team did at LANcity was the embodiment of that vision and ultimately led to the creation of DOCSIS. We, the DOCSIS generation, stand on the shoulders of giants, and Rouzbeh and his team were those giants. This book is a fascinating read of life in a startup and compares to great books like The Soul of a New Machine. Rouzbeh's book shows what you can do with a vision even when all the odds seem against you."" --John Chapman, former Broadband CTO and Fellow at Cisco
