Nomadic computing and wireless networks are becoming more common. Here is a chance to exchange information and share experiences in this domain.

As bandwidth increases, it is increasingly possible to use synchronous communication incorporating real time or near real time audio and video, either in unidirectional webcasts or multidirectional videoconferences, all over I.P.

Advances in wireless technology make it possible to use these technologies nomadically, from laptops and handheld devices. The NLM has been experimenting with these technologies independently and in combination. Their insight should be valuable for all of us.
