I dunno about the whole fail meme, from where I sit Regus seems like it's doing pretty okay. EasyOffice is expanding, so I expect they are doing all right. Seats2Meet is going great guns here in the Netherlands as far as I can see. It's my hope that they do well and that lots of people come up with new approaches. I recently came in glancing contact with a guy who wants to do what looks to me like a gated community of related professionals, who share an office by renting days instead of years. It's interesing if he can find his market and it's only good for me -- do I have to tell my story about the shoe stores again?
If I were deploying across multiple locations I would focus on making them hyper-local in character. But that is my own bias; standardization is the past it seems to me, it's individuation that has the future. I am not opposed to the occasional mobile worker passing through. I like their input and I like having their perspective, it's fun to have a new kid around. But for me anyway, they are not my core business, I am not in the right location for that.
