shared empty room at Regus in the little town I was in many moons ago,
but I backed out and found real coworking to be a much better
alternative.
What Regus does is rented offices to unrelated business people which
share a printer and conference room, but otherwise don't chat much.
They did have a room with a long table on the east and west walls
(reminded me of detention back in high school) that they called their
"coworking" space, but when I toured the space multiple times, the
room was 100% empty, and it still required a multi-month commitment
from me and my business, which I wasn't interested in doing.
That's just my experience with Regus in one town, but I wouldn't call
them co-working at all.
