If you want consistent work, then hit the pavement and get some accounts for yourself. 

Nothing is guaranteed in this profession.  No one has stakes on work given out by a company whether it be to an employee or IC.  Now, the employee should get at least a base rate if there really truly is no work to be given during that agreed upon shift and none of this check back later which is constantly abused in this profession.  ICs are not guaranteed work, I need say no more on that issue, but will state one thing:  If you are an IC and run out of work, get another IC job...  It's that simple.  ICs are free to work for as many companies as they'd like no matter how they like to say set schedule.  If they have no work, you as an IC are forced to take matters into your own hands and find several companies to get work from to make a living.  Cheers! 

Does anyone now anything about Itype and Iplayer?  Specifically, what I need to know is, do you have to be on the Internet to work with this, or can you download files, type them up, and then upload them back? 

Thanks so much for any info!
