For one thing, offshoring IS falling out of fashion to some degree, for various reasons (e.g., political, social) not limited to the disadvantages I covered in my post. See, for example, "<a href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/technology_at_work/archives/2009/03/cfos_say_intern.html" rel="nofollow">CFOs say Offshore Outsourcing to Decline</a>", from BusinessWeek. And your point about CMM level 5? Sure, I don't disagree that there are many fine companies to outsource to, but that misses the entire point of my post: it's NOT about development alone.

The process of outsourcing is there since a decade now and if there were any serious risks/implications , it would have met its natural demise by now. Most of the outsourcing are done to companies which are CMM levele 5 ( a standard devised by the US itself) and they meet higher standards than the development environment in the outsourcer comany itself. Here’s my take,
