The story I heard from the previous owner of my house is back in the 60's his father owned a corp. across the street and had his employees in the houses (same guy still owns the commercial building - and a cell tower.)

If you look at the rants and raves on craigs list, people were complaining that there was no local phone number to call these people, even our city council was getting concerned since they let the contract for cable TV in the city.The business card had her office number and her cell phone number.

Also see how hard it is to get personal cell phone numbers of key employees. 

They still have to pay for transportation, food, utilities, cell phones, TV, Internet, clothing, etc.

Her tenant decided not to pay rent, knowing the landlord would be overseas with spotty cell coverage. 

So you get both the service from having the local person (my cell where you can call me anytime), but the ease of transferring documents in several markets (so you don't have to keep re-sending) by being under the umbrella of the larger company.

No wasted brain cells to decide curtain style or colors. 

The best place to reach me is my cell at 401-556-5317.
