Good points, but it does rather depend on your job.

I once worked for the UK brach of a Swedish firm, Nuclear Diagnostics
http://www.nuclear-diagnostics.com
At the time, mobile phones weren't common and I was surprised to get one
on day one. The boss, Jan, also positively encouraged me to work from
home. I later realised that he was right - I wasn't generating income
for the company while polishing my chair back at the office.
He didn't mind where I was, just that if a job needed done I was there.
