The NAME is BellSOUTH.. Not BellINDIA. If we are going to earn money in the nine state region for which we live and work, we should keep the operational US dollar expenditures at HOME, not shift it abroad in rupees! I don't think the majority of our customer base would be happy w. the fact that Accenture has managed to hoodwink our management team that outsourcing our good paying IT jobs.. and allowing foreign access to our proprietary customer information (even though they SAY there is no local download in the memo) would be a good idea. I don't give a damn if they had multiple OC48's, w. multiple IXC's terminating in to that facility, w. a 1,000 box server farm loadbalancing and providing data integrity, redundancy, and fault tolerance for the whole kit and kaboodle. This is a fundamental MAJOR SCREWING of the American people, and a major potential security risk for Bellsouth. Let's do all of ourselves a favor. Write your congressman, your senator, or anyone w. local, regional or national power. Boycott US companies who outsource their labor or IT services to other countries such as India, from being able to gain government or government contractor contracts. There is NO WAY IN HELL, that I want MY tax dollars being shelled out in order to screw the American workers out of good paying jobs, and having MY TAX DOLLARS converted to Rupees to pay those low wage outsourced labor jobs in India. DO IT NOW!
