Different situation - you're talking about a single worker without proper internet access... they would maybe have to dial up once a day to commit their updates (they might have trouble keeping up to date with their email traffic though, but that's a whole other issue). In most cases though people in that situation commute to the office where there's plenty of bandwidth (teleworking is still comparatively rare). > Exactly.

I could point to lots of places in the UK where there's only dialup too - you can bet there are no data centres there either. Don't confuse where the workers live to where the business is situated. They're not the same thing. Tony
