In the last posted article, there was a reference to Indiana's decision to cancel their IT contract with an Indian outsourcing firm. I tried to find more details about the story, and here it is.

"Citing the need to protect local businesses, the state of Indiana terminated a software contract it had awarded to an Indian company--a move indicative of growing opposition to offshore outsourcing."
With this decision and Dell's announcement to move some technical support functions from India back to the U.S. (see Nov. 25 article), I hope this signals the start of companies opening their eyes to the negative aspects of offshoring.
