It's almost complete, since we don't hear it much. It's pretty
much standard procedure for US corp. not to develop on-shore.>

You may be right about software development work. However, business process outsourcing in other specialities is just 5-10 percent complete. Again the technical services (e.g. technical support) are leading the move - all large ISPs (AOL, SBC Yahoo, Earthlink) have centers in India or Phillipines for technical support.
