Article Abstract:

It is now possible in theory for travel writers to communicate with their head office from wherever they are in the world. With a laptop computer and a modem, the barriers created by large distances are eliminated. However, it can be very hard in some countries to obtain the necessary connection to transmit data.

It is also important to protect equipment from careless handling at airports.
