Here's an article that talks about the India angle.  Currently 40% cheaper 
than IT labor in US.  Of course, I believe this is a short-term solution - 
few decades - until Indian labor wants / demands / deserves more $ and then 
what?  Brazil?  China?

It made me wonder if USA will become United Kingdom of 21st Century.

UK - Dominant in 1800s
US - Dominant in 1900s
India - Dominant in 2000s?
