Mobile working is one of those terms we have bandied about for years. Of course, we have said, you can buy these machines and check on the data wherever you are in the world. Or, in my case - of course I can send you those pages from my laptop in France.
The reality has often been not quite as easy as it sounds. My first year here in France saw me trying to edit Euroslot on a dial-up connection as the local Mairie had refused to allow broadband cabling.

Now, I use a 3G dongle when I am not at my desk and I find it an amazing help. I am writing this on a family holiday with the kids screaming downstairs - true mobile working. I note with interest that 3G is the way forward for some of the companies we interviewed for this month's music feature. It means that jukeboxes can now be moved from one site to another and be profiled and updated with music from a remote source. Just incredible use of technology that once again shows how the jukebox above almost any other machine has moved with the times.
