IMO some of this offshoring is going to backfire on the co's doing it, and therefore some will be pulled back in to the US. This happened with manufacturing. A lot of co's could not get the flexibility and responsiveness they need by having conference calls at 3:00 a.m. with chinese manufacturers, and spending a week each month flying to asia. So in some cases the manuf was pulled back in to US producers. This actually occured with some makers of TVs. The services offshoring is still very young, and eventually the problems will become apprarent.
