CATA - Bedouin Office Part 1, Component Technologies

Ottawa, May/June, 2008...Canada's largest high tech trade association,
CATAAlliance, announced the launch of its "Going Bedouin" program as
part of a full-mobility business infrastructure model.

"Work is not a place anymore -- it's a thing you do," said CATA President
John Reid. "With the new relationship-building capacity of the Web, and
enhanced and affordable tools for mobile workers, we can be 'at work'
anywhere."

The term Bedouin Office was first coined by writers in San Francisco
entrepreneur Greg Olsen, who described local 'digital nomads' as
"Bay Area Bedouins'. Tired of pouring his start-up money into new
office headquarters, Greg focused on a service-based mob infrastructure.
Now, like their namesake Bedouin who roam looking for green pastures,
the new digital Bedouins carry laptops and cell phones, and set up shop
wherever there is an Internet connection.
