    Who does it?

    My boss says he bribes someone $250 a month so that his guys over there have internet access.

    I have heard that the penguins in Antarctica are starting to undercut the Indians so that the outsourcing is starting to go to the South Pole. Surf's up!

    Just wait until Santa Clause's elf's stop making toys and get into computer programing, I hear that they will work for half the price.

    Outsourcing to India is under price pressure from China, South Africa (SEO) and Russia & Eastern Europe (Programming)

    That's right. With the people of China started learning and embracing English in a big way, India surely has to face a formidable force in the form of China, known for cheap labor and good quality standards. Threats for outsourcing from Europe is perceptible but minor.

    India should continue to do well with outsourcing. But there is some pressure in the engineering fields. The strengthening of the rupee and the worsening US economy will cause small US internet operations in places like the US Midwest to become more competitve for services like content creation and data entry.

    This, oddly enough, is exactly what I do for a living.
