superhighways- the real and virtual

read a wonderful article in the newspapers about one of the ways to get out of the transport problem in metros around the world.
Urban transport is predominently to and fro from work.If virtual network can be leveraged by every organisation, bulk of commuting could be saved and hence vehicles on the roads can be reduced.with rising fuel costs it is definitely worth a consideration by urban city planners.
To construct 1km road it costs 1 crore and 3 crores if it is a national highway.Whereas for a wide bandwith 1km costs only 3 lakhs.It makes sound economic sense.
When India can do the work of US by outsourcing,why can an office work not be done within a few kilometre distance at the house of the employee is a question the author raises.In effect he tells us "practice at home what you practice anyway "
for the skeptics: can all jobs be outsourced: obviously not,but a large percentage of it can and it is definitely worth giving it a thought.
Do all cars on the roads predominently go to and fro from work.Yes, but we are addressing that segment only.We are not looking at people who commute for pleasure.they have a choice to go or not and obviously people going to office do not have such a choice.
Another winner is this argument: price of automobile fuel is likely to rise dramatically in the near/long term,whereas prices of electronic "roads" are likely to fall!
there are many views/recos for decongesting urban metros and this one was novel!
