    • How Much Longer Will Indian Outsourcers Offer Cost Advantages? [view article]
      Dan,

      Interesting analysis but it completely ignores the impact of supply emerging from places like China, Vietnam, etc on the ability of Indian programers to demand hikes on scale of 15% yoy until 2107. According to me, China will start pumping out engineers faster than India in the next 4-5 years and by engineers I mean employable engineers capable of handling outsourcing work. This will bring some amount of sanity to this lopsided demand/supply picture and this frenzy of salary hikes will come down to a more reasonable 5-8% avg hikes every year in India.

      If China fails to rise up to this occassion, my personal belief is that it will hurt the overall offshore story as the industry cannot continue this growth rates with exisiting salary growths.

    • Interactive Q&A: Steve Zhang, CEO of AsiaInfo Holdings (ASIA) [view article]
      Hi Steve,

      With increasing competition between the mobile operators and fixed line carriers in the 3G era, do you see operators demanding more exclusive arrangement with their software solution providers to safeguard their trade secrets ? If so, will it have adverse impact on Asia Info's ability to continue doing business with all 4 major players in the future ?
