A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing

thefinite writes "This article needs to be read by anyone interested in the outsourcing of IT jobs to India, no matter your opinion of it. It dispels some rumors (for example, if Indian IT companies do such bad work, why are over half of Carnegie Mellon's highest-rated programming companies Indian?). It addresses all of the arguments.

In the end of it, this is what Free Trade is about: people. This article makes that clear."
