Ryan Wang from Penn State University investigates how ICTs access can have an impact on the workplace mobility change. David Clark and Sara Wedeman from Massachusetts Institute of Technology discusses how the Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT), a tool that is frequently used as a measure for the speed of a data transfer, can be interpreted in different contexts.
