I would say for the company, there is a negative ROI regardless of location; but it would be nice to see companies build or rent work centers and whatnot rather than force all national employees into a single location. Of course that costs more AND yields less available face-to-face communication in that it limits that communication to employees in the satellite office. Without remoting, for the entire organization, it gets a lot more expensive and most of the cost is deferred to the employees who have to do the moving and the transportation and the time loss, etc.
