Hi Greg, I believe that's it. Or could be due to the complication with trying to find out how to get an organisation account, or who controls that account, or whether the person that holds that account is a friendly. Sometimes its easier just to bypass the bureaucracy and go direct - more control!
Internet stability is not an issue where I am, nor is it in most places that I have worked. That said, the perception that it could become a problem is definitely there - take down the internet and that means a team of up to 8 people not being productive (or as productive, even if you decide to immediately run a review session if the web goes down.) If it goes down for a day at roughly $1000 a developer, that's $8000 a day. The last few jobs I've had have no real geographically distributed teams. PwC had a Sydney and Melbourne team but most developers, except for the K2 team, were co-located (co-located is the preferred way under Agile) The prior one that outsourced - Origin - flew their team to us on a cycling 3 month basis (Wipro) and everything was in-house.
