Virtual Offices

Jason Calacanis via Dane Carlson:

Offices are best at creating three things: politics, commutes, and distractions. Again, find great folks and do regular in person meetings, then let them go home and work. They’ll be happier, you’ll have less expense, and there will be much less drama.

I SO agree with this statement.  Why do businesses still cling to the outdated concept that a physical presence is required?  Paying for broadband access for employees is a lot cheaper than paying rent for a shoe-box in the CBD, so what’s holding people back from embracing the officeless office?  Fear, Control, Ego et al?
