The connected market space is the space, every space and place, in which you operate. If you're like many of us, you take your personal space with you where-ever you operate.

Just yesterday I had a client tell me he had to write 17,000 words for a new program. So he jumped on a flight from NYC to Frankfurt and back-away from the office, kids, house and staff, to get the job done. I totally understood his logic. I carry two long life batteries for my tablet PC (my new littel Oragami UMPC), that gets me from coast to coast, so I can work uninterrupted as my iPod shuffles through sounds that keep out the white noise and surrounding conversations - it's my 30,000 foot office and view space.
