The book's recommendations for computing and communications infrastructure center on the provision and use of bandwidth--or the speed of communications. Concurrent applications research should be focused on ease of use and interoperability of the multitude of devices and programs that currently are needed to engage in distributed work. 606 $aTelecommuting 606 $aTeams in the workplace 615 0$aTelecommuting. 615 0$aTeams in the workplace. 676 $a331.25 701 $aKraut$b Robert E$0785871 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bTechnology and Telecommuting: Issues and Impacts Committee. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961796003321 996 $aResearch recommendations$94368422 997 $aUNINA
