[LINK] Australian Government Telework Forum

[Tom Worthington]

As part of the Telework Initiative, the Department of Broadband, 
Communications and the Digital Economy is hosting "Telework Forum: 
Bringing Home the Benefits of Teleworking Using the NBN" with the AIIA, 
in Sydney, 3 August 2011. The morning sessions will be webcast live. 
There is also a LinkedIn Group and Twitter tag #teleworkforum:

By the way there seem obvious synergies between telework and e-learning. 
One example is how thousands of people in government and industry are 
going to learn about measuring and reducing carbon emissions: it would 
be silly to fly them all to a course (and increase carbon emissions).
