Managing Business Remotely: Specialised Services to Support the Internet Business Community
The global proliferation of the phenomena of the internet and of mobile communication technologies has materially and irreversibly changed the way that we work, play and communicate. Geographical gaps have been bridged beyond our comprehension or imagination in as little as twenty years. Today we are almost unmoved by the fact that an e-mail message pops up on the recipient’s screen in another corner of the world within seconds- as though it was sent to the room next door. Similarly, it is difficult to remember how we ever lived without mobile phones.

It is clear that the accessibility, affordability, speed and reliability of communication technologies, coupled with the relentless expansion of the supporting networks, will continue to add more flexibility to each of us by empowering us to be on the move and to run our business, professions and personal lives from our laptops, mobiles and PDAs, wherever we are at whatever time of the day or night- our mobile office tools are unlikely to weigh in at an aggregate weight exceeding 3 kilos, meaning that we can take them wherever we go.
