I wouldn't know about the USA, I'm in the UK. But the fact remains that the
outsourcing to India from the UK is done to save money. Take IT forinstance,
the first line support (is it plugged in, switched on etc) which can be done
with no training from cue cards is outsourced, which is also far cheaper
than UK labour. But second line onwards where it gets a bit technical and
needs good communication then it is done from the UK. I deal with companies
that have outsourced to India and they all say the same thing. It is much
much cheaper labour in India than the UK.
