Very useful and informative. I'd like to pick up on point 7 where you suggest that Broadband may be insufficient to cope with a high number of people working at home simultaneously. the problem I particularly foresee here is where homeworking solutions include IP telephony as well as secure data access. Reliance upon the PSTN network would be a far better option in my opinion, with calls on individual DDI numbers being re-routed to home phone lines or mobiles. As I point out in my top ten tips for employing flexible working during a pandemic, this is easy to do and available to implement now in preparation for when the pandemic really takes hold. http://www.gematech.com/blog/2009/07/28/swine-flu-top-ten-tips-for-employing-home-working-during-the-pandemic/ Thankyou for your 17 points summary.
