Even the mainstream newspapers are identifying that the current homeworking shift could easily become a permanent trend. The Guardian recently noted that ″many employees for companies who have sent all staff home are already starting to question why they had to go in to the office in the first place.″

Looking beyond business and industry, education is another obvious candidate for more home-based connectivity being a long-term option.
