Hi Joel Here in the UK we have developed NearDesk. It is a card which allows you to move from space to space within the registered network. Unlike the Coworking Visa, you have to pay for deskspace that you use, but you can do this on a PAYG by the hour basis. We are fully up and running at our 'showhome' at View61 (www.view61.co.uk) in London and will shortly be rolling out to around 100 locations around the UK. The price for the deskspace is set by the coworking centre. Its a simple, touch in, touch out system that allows you to move from space to space.
Is this what you mean by moving into the 21st Century?
