Completely remote work usually has overhead. First, time zone differences really hurt work.

>Meetings, brainstorms can be done remotely - and very often are. Many companie already work remotely.

Meetings over internet work worse than in person. Also, I don't know any decent low cost software for this. Skype works well with sound, but video is far from ideal. The same with google hangouts.

Personally, I work from home 3 days/week and 2 days/week in the office. We have team members in other location with a large time difference of about 8 hours and this complicates things a lot.
