Well, it's certainly not overblown from my perspective.  That is one of 
the main reasons I left AT&T a few years ago, because I could see the 
writing on the wall.  I had been writing code for AT&T for over 10 years 
and was with AT&T Labs at the time.  There was a ton of stuff being 
outsourced.  Either that, or h1b's being hired.  Either way, they were 
reducing their cost by going with cheaper programming.  I can remember 
having to have a conference call with some folks in India.  The time 
difference made it quite difficult to schedule.
