Norwegian (Bokmal) term or phrase: stedsuavhengig kommunikasjon
"Virksomheter vil trenge høyere hastighet blant annet på grunn av økt bruk av videomøter og annen stedsuavhengig kommunikasjon, "

I'm not convinced that "place-independent" is the right term here.

I had no idea there was a new term for my business. Very happy to have a trendy neologism that I can now use proudly. :-)

Example sentence(s):
  • Location-independent teams have become a viable way for co-workers and management to remain collaborative and effective in the face of a constantly moving workforce.

Explanation:
I am agreeing with Charles, but wanted to add something:

At the end of your question you say you're not sure whether "place-independent" is the correct term to use for your sentence. I do think that the term (location independent communication) applies, as they are discussing video meetings (skype etc.) and other forms of communication that is not dependent on the location of the participants.

We freelancers basically live a location independent lifestyle :-)
