Great idea but unfortunately it would seem the real drive behind congestion charging is more about swelling local government coffers than actually reducing congestion. Just ask any London driver and they'll tell you the streets are just as busy now as they've ever been.

However you make a very valid point, in these days of VOIP and cheap broadband I'm sure it would be entirely possible for a huge portion of London's employees to work from home.
Not only would this unclog the roads and reduce pollution but it would also save companies a fortune in office space. What's stopping this happening right now is not technology but dated attitudes from senior management.
