According to the Washington Business Journal a record number of companies are letting people work from home:
Forty-two percent of U.S. companies surveyed said they offered teleworking programs to employees this year, compared to only 30 percent last year. In Canada the jump was even bigger — from 25 percent to 40 percent.
Technology advances play a part in addition to other considerations. MPLS, or Multi Protocol Label Switching, is quickly replacing frame relay and ATM as the technology of choice for carrying high-speed data and digital voice on a single connection. It is used by many companies to facilitate working at home.
