Yes, but haven't the tools for working remotely improved a lot since 2006?

Not really - no. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I couldn't do six years ago.
There are a few more options maybe - but nothing fundamentally different.
They have, but if you look at it in terms of fundamental change, then of course not.
For example, a cell phone from today isn't fundamentally different than a cell phone from a decade ago. They're both computers and can be used to make phone calls. But with the cellphone of today, I can have a virtual meeting with anyone from anywhere, face-to-face. That alone is a huge improvement for distributed teams.
