If American or Brit workers would provide the same bang-for-buck (pound) as
the Asian, they wouldn't be outsourced. This is nothing new. We are ALWAYS
using products that have been created internationally. This is good and
healthy.

It is also the case that British companies are outsourcing call centres

to the parent company. I know of a case where a man wanted to spend 2000
pounds on a DELL pc but due to the appalling accent of the Indian call
centre operative was unable to complete the transaction. :-)

Incidentally, the real reason for the phoney names is to give you a more
easily remembered name for any future contact. I always think that Emma
is easier to remember than it's Gujarati equivalent.
