India Now Wants Access To Google and Skype

crabel writes "A couple of weeks ago India went after RIM and its mail service; it has extended its hunger for data now to all telecommunications. All telecom companies have to give them access to all voice over IP services that go in/out or happen within the country. Heck, they are even going after VPNs used by corporate employees working remotely."

    The US introduced nukes to this planet.

    Seriously, when a terrorist state is next door, and a huge communist dictatorship is next door too, what the fuck d'you expect? That India should just roll over and die? Thank god India managed to develop nukes when it did!

    I'm based in Bangalore, India, and occasionally travel to the US on a business Visa (B1) for initial discussions or during go-live. I'm better than most American programmers I've met, and I know several others in India who are as good as, or better than I am. I'd wager that you're a crappy coder yourself. I'm getting a bit sick of these generalizations and wildly exaggerated claims of Indian incompetence that I keep hearing from American programmers. The experiences that I've had working (and sometimes leading a small team) of American programmers do not bear out the claims of extreme superiority of the American programmer that one sees on slashdot. Generally they're just ok, and quite a few really suck. Some are brilliant. Nothing extraordinary or great about the average American programmer vis-a-vis his Indian/European counterpart.
