This was in today’s café.

“Cloud computing is an ideal approach for the mobile and highly collaborative work environments of GIS professionals, which frequently entail the communication and analysis of detailed information – often in the field.  High volumes of documents including GIS maps, satellite photos, spreadsheets and PDFs can be stored online or “in the cloud”, where they can be easily downloaded, edited and uploaded. This can be critical to enabling an efficient workflow as project teams can leverage the cloud to share information over the duration of the project.”

 

Is our internet connectivity still so poor that this would not be beneficial in rural Maine? What about the more urban areas?
