As a business owner, not only is it more cost efficient to get away from the fixed overhead cost of an office, it helps to empower employees to make great decisions. The more empowered a staff that you have, the better they work and treat your customers.

The employee spend less time traveling, get dress up and work at times that might not be optimum for her / him. The employer gets happier and more productive workers and the environment wins by saving the energy needed for transportation, heating / cooling the office etc.

Our resistance to its adoption is one due to a lack of telecom infrastructure available cheaply, lack of low cost computers, a disinterest in the internet as a means of making money and a view that it is for young people.

as it is not a traditional means of doing work!
