This second CD-ROM by James Booth on fiber optic telecommunications networks, published by Pike & Fischer and available exclusively through BNA Books in PDF format on CD-ROM, will assist owners and contractors in preparing clear and viable contracts for the construction of elements of telecommunications systems. The author discusses the important elements of a construction contract from both the owner's perspective and the contractor's perspective, and offers alternate clauses to suit the varying needs of individual owners and contractors.

The CD-ROM covers both "inside plant" components (i.e., those parts of a network that are constructed within a building) and "outside plant" components (those that are constructed out-of-doors). The key elements of fiber optic construction agreements—from achieving clarity in describing the work to be performed to providing fairness and security in the termination clause—are covered in clear, easy-to-adopt text and incisive explanatory comments. Alternate clauses differentiated by bold and italic type are provided to cover the individual circumstances facing the contracting parties.
