Exactly. So many businesses "tele-commute" as you say above....
Our son has an M.B.A. in Brand Marketing* and while visiting us over a five day Thanksgiving vacation.......in THE VILLAGES........used our host's lovely home office and wireless connection (with his own laptop and I-phone) to keep up with his corporate customers coast to coast......
*Brand Marketing executives assist large corporations in expanding their new product lines from conception, the research, marketing and advertising of said new product......." Sometimes conference calls are possible..........from home. Other times, these guys are "up in the air" like George Clooney was in that movie UP IN THE AIR.......which is most of the time........so that type of "work at home" is quite possible anywhere and no one would ever know.........it's quiet and private. The "at home part" would be when they are not physically at the client's home offices making a presentation........in other words, doing follow up conversations or conference calls from home.
I can also see a watchmaker or some other quiet type occupation who just needs a desk and some hand tools.......to repair say, antique watches, which are mailed to him........no problem there.
There could be many quiet home businesses..........with no customers coming to the door.
Or, any business that consists of computerized reports, etc........again, no customers to the home.........everything done over the internet and email.
