This argument will carry a lot more weight when there is a successful company (say, Instagram-successful) build and run by remote collaboration.

37signals doesn't count as a successful company?

Sure, but they are still essentially a Chicago company. http://37signals.com/svn/writers/

How about a company with principals/co-founders in different regions?

OP's argument didn't depend on the company being built entirely by a remote team. He just said that remote workers will become more popular.

That can mean entirely remote teams, or a team with a Central location and many remote workers.

We built Basecamp while I was working from Copenhagen, Denmark. I currently live and work and wrote that piece from Spain. Out of some 35 people, only about a third has base in Chicago. Out of that third, maybe half of them go to the office every day.
