We have the tech for encrypted communications, and the infrastructure is the same what you have communications with someone across the country or the cubicle over.

It all goes through SSC anyways.

I would have guess "big oil" for 300.

That being said I don't see why anyone would be opposed to other people having the option to work remotely, as it does not take away from your option to choose to work in a office environment five days a week if it's more enjoyable to you. Other people in the office are not "decorative" or considered "furniture".

Some benefits for people that prefer to work "in office" if other are allowed to work remotely (that I can think of from the top of my head).

• less people on the morning commute meaning a quicker and more enjoyable trip into work.
• less distraction when trying to concentrate.
• less chance to catch a cold or virus.
• cleaner facilities from less use, and less wear and tear of office equipment.

And I say this as someone that goes into a office environment three days a week (because I enjoy "getting out" and it's closer to a bar I like), but I do miss the times when the morning commute was a 20 min drive as opposed to a 40-50 min commute.
