There are different levels of telecommuting. Sometimes it is easier to hash everything out in a face to face meeting. Ideally the telecommuter would live close enough, say up to a few hours drive, that given proper notice they could come in for a meeting. I could see that being abused, but it would give everybody the flexibility of telecommuting but with the ability to meet in real life occasionally.
