If someone can telecommute from thirty or forty miles away, why not just hire a guy in India for about 1/10 the salary and have him telecommute?

A lot of companies have already done that - they call it outsourcing. Some companies have figured out outsourcing doesn't work for them and are pulling the work back to U.S. based employees.

We're in outsourcing version 1.0. In a decade we'll be in version 2.0. It'll be a much improved version. Multi-lingual and keyed into all the major world markets.
