Another ISP Goes Offshore

It seems as though AOL is following the lead of Earthlink in moving to India. I can't threaten never to return to their service, however, as I was never a customer of theirs. But I'll bet these guys (fellow coders) are happy about the situation:

AOL laid off 450 software developers in California in December and closed two offices in the state. This came months after it laid off 50 employees at its Mountain View-based Netscape Communications unit.

I just wonder if they'll change their name ...

U.S. Internet giant America Online, plagued by subscriber losses and American job cuts, is stepping into the software development market where many big companies come to save money: India.
