BBC's Wi-Fi Day Out

The BBC News Interactive technology section spent yesterday out of the office in Norwich, working remotely via Wi-Fi -- and described their experiences online.

Reporter Darren Waters wrote, "Working in an outdoor cafe sounds attractive but the reality is very different. Constant noise and distractions make working very difficult indeed. There is something to be said after all for the quiet hum of an office."

Rebecca Morelle agreed, "Working outside of the office is much more difficult than I anticipated. The Internet access is fantastic, but sitting in noisy coffee shops and working on unfamiliar laptopslinks is harder than I thought it would be. Something that should have taken 30 minutes for me to do, has taken much much longer."

And Jonathan Fildes noted that power quickly became an issue. "There's one snag with this wireless dream," he wrote. "It's not wireless at all. At the moment we're all connected to a large yellow cable snaking its way out of the shop, across the piazza and into our computers. It's not providing an Internet connection, but the power for our laptops. Within a couple of hours this morning all four of us were plugged into a power point, our batteries depleted. If wireless is really going to be the future, we need to work out how to power it first."
