I think this issue is not black and white. It is a combination of companies being picky about skills (I am when I interview) and unwillingness to invest in proper training.

So this will fuel INSS growth (demand) and people will flock to INSS because of its emphasis on training and diverse expertise.

I don't think 25 years of experience is necessarily good for a network engineer because most of the standards for internetworking were created (finalized) in the last 10 years. Even FDDI, an "ancient" technology, has only been standardized for about 10-12 years. Therefore, 7 - 8 years of relevant experience is almost as good as 20 years of experience (in many cases) and much cheaper. That is what there is a shortage of in networking.

Wanting to up the Visas is just a way to get those skills for the price of 5 to 7 years of experience.
