OTOH I think it may be more an example of "you get what you pay for". India also has a handful of organisations capable of writing six sigma quality code to the standard expected on manned space programs. When you outsource stuff you had better get the specification right first time and choose the correct partners to work with. Otherwise you can get back something at the end which does exactly what you asked for rather than what you thought you had asked for. Seen it happen... Cultural assumptions about ambiguities may be different and any loose ends have a nasty habit of causing serious trouble in software specs. -- Regards, Martin Brown
