Okay, so the argument is that outsourcing off-shore is all about cost, right? Then why is it that we don’t do more telecommuting here? Surely it must cost the same to telecommute to India as it does to, say, Vermont, or Maine. If anything, I’d think it would be cheaper!
Well, this article over at Slashdot proposes just that. It’s a little late to make many comments, but there are several links in the article itself that are worthing following. (And, now, the websites should be up and recovered from the “Slashdot Effect“!)
