Corey,
I'm not sure if you plan to include historical information about communication, but there is a great book by the late Cary Lu called "The Race for Bandwidth". It deals with communication throughout the ages, and how mankind has always been trying to increase the amount of data sent between two points. (Ever wonder why there are so many places called "Tower Hill"?) Cary authored many "readable" computer books, making technology easier to understand for the average person. I believe this was his final book.
Even if you don't plan to go into historical data, this book is a good read.
