Flutterby™! : Inner Outsourcing

The funny thing about globalization is that globes are, in fact, circular. Case in Point: according to a short item in the Economist referenced by Reason Magazine's Hit and Run weblog (a pretty globular chain all by itself), certain Indian call centers are finding new ways to hire people with good English skills. They're hiring American and English students bumming around Asia who are willing to work for Indian-level wages while soaking up local culture. I wonder if they take lessons in Punjabi pronunciation, just to keep it more real.
