70% of Indian business process outsourcing companies to die within the next few months
Posted by ZDNet Research @ 11:35 am
Categories: General
Tags:
70% of the top 15 Indian business process outsourcing start-ups will cease to exist in the coming months, Gartner said. Offshoring customer service will not be as widespread as expected. In 2005, it is expected to be less than 2% of the total and will grow only to less than 5% in 2007. Through 2007, 80% of organisations that outsource customer service and support contact centres with the primary goal of reducing cost will fail.

73% of software in India is pirated
Posted by ZDNet Research @ 11:35 am
Categories: General
Tags:
An IDC study sponsored by Business Software Alliance says that 73% of software in India is pirated. Financially that translates into $367 mln of unpaid revenues. A reduction from the 70% level in 2002 to 60% by 2006 will add $2 bln to Indias economy, increase local industry revenues by around $1.6 bln, generate 48,435 new high-tech, high-wage jobs and generate $92.4 mln in tax revenues for the government.

No field has been transformed by open source as much as journalism.
Im referring both to open source as in free, and open source as in see the source code.
The free Web challenges journalism business models as nothing has before. The industry is still reeling.
Even when magazines were given away, it was in exchange for detailed information. Publishers bought lists of prospective readers, made their offer by mail, then demanded personal details for subscriptions. The data justified the ad rate.
