The broadening of high speed telecommunication links between India and the USA, the growth of internet-based communication and the reducing cost of computers and communication have also vastly raised the outsourcing trend. Indians to access US computers and for US companies have worked continuously 24hrs per day without the need for overtime paid.
The falling cost and higher reliability of newer communication on system were specially important to shifting of less skilled and relatively lower wage telephone call services jobs from the US to India.
