Have you ever been to the third world, and seen these cost savings In India etc. first hand? Nope? Thought not. The people who have these jobs in places like India want to be able to afford consumer goods - they want a western way of life. They can't, not on the salaries they have. I've seen it - first hand. The quality of life in call centres and software houses over there is shite. As soon as they want a better quality of life, salaries will go up and there will be absolutely no point in moving to those countries at all. They also don't have the economic infrastructure to support all of that.
Take you MIT degree and your business, shove them up your ass and do some thinking. The notion that people won't get paid is just stupid. Does the money that would be spent on things like licenses just magically disappear. Well it might if you're Enron, but no. There is still lots of money t be made out there, it hasn't grown legs and walked off. It is just somewhere else.
