Counterpoint: I work from home, and it is not a necessity. I can (and often do) run this place at 9600 baud for up to a week at a time (sometimes dropping to 1200 baud ... ain't USR 19.2 modems wonderful?).
Anywho, Glitter doesn't get work done. Never has, never will.[0]
"And since I'm expected to do desktop sharing and VoIP, broadband is just as necessary."
