What Paul says is of course true.

But I'd like to explore this a little further.

Let's say someone sets up a development of houses for
telecommuting.
Let's say these are based in a collection of old farm buildings,
or a row of worker's cottages. Or something.
So let's say the developer wants to offer wireless access to all
the telecommuters - so they can roam around with laptops,
and do their work whilst sitting out in the sun, or looking after
their babies, or whatever.
I can't beleive that the Government, with all its much trumpeted
initiatives on Broadband Britain, and telecommuting, would really
intend its regulations to stand in the way of such a thing.


Just thinking out loud - as I normally do.
I wonder if we should contact Radio Communications Agency or something
to get this clarified?
