Cottage Industry In The Digital Age

It is possible to collect a set of individuals today and form an enterprise. Unlike the cottage industry of yore these individuals can be anywhere, any part of the globe in fact. It is probably easier to co-ordinate their work except where time difference cause problems. I am in the process of setting up such a virtual enterprise. Who would have thought, even probably 5 years back, such a thing would be possible in India. It's not too difficult to find people with a PC and a internet connection at home who can take up work that can be done on such a combination.
