Hello Eric,
Thanks for sending this.
I want the office, I do want to work anywhere
on the planet. There are two perspectives, I go to the office, or the office
comes to me. This is the perspective of I go to the office. I remember using a
Business Center in the Hilton in Beijing China, or the Palestine Hotel in the
green zone of Baghdad, Iraq. There are always five star hotels type business
centers. Kevin Sites, the Yahoo reporter uses them, I saw the Shagrila in
Katmandu, 125 US per night.
This offer is semi selling what they know a
person cannot use in one years, to use 10 of these offices in 5 countries would
be difficult.
I know it sounds as though I think of the
money, but I have many times paid up to 12 US dollars per hour to use the
internet.
Office - I go there, I am in Lome, Togo, I do not think they
have one in Lome Togo, where there is a big need, however if I was to go to an
office here, it would have to be close to the center of the city, the Palm Beach
Hotel, if you read my mobile office link, it semi is saying 24 hour
access.
It comes down to we want to work when we want to
work.
I am see the GPRS or maybe the Satellite providing the access
I need. I do believe for 99 percent of travelers, if they go and stay in the
know Expat areas of the plane, the hotels normally have Internet in the rooms,
WIFI and are excellent.
I had a room like this in the Philippines near Clark Air Force
base, it had free Wifi, however the bottom line, I do not like to live there,
and I do not like to go to big commercial centers, if there is a big commercial
center, there is an good internet cafe close.
Interesting idea and sounds good, but I do not think I could
find and connect with more than 10 in one year, then only for one day or two.
300 US will buy a about 300 hours or Internet time.
Thanks
Andy in Lome Togo West Africa

Andy,
Fast internet in 400 cities for less than a dollar a
day? I came across the Regus offerings for mobile professionals through Tim
Ferriss. He wrote the book "The 4 hour work week".
The Regus "Network Access" option is $300 a year.
They claim to have 950 business lounges in 70 countries where you can get
high speed connected. I'm not yet convinced it's worth it but found it
interesting just the same.
Here the link ...
