Down here TV is in a shocking state! We gained all these extra Free-to-Air Digital stations full of crap. And even then they rarely complete a season once they start.
Then there is the monopoly of Pay-TV that will charge you too much for a heap of crap nobody wants to watch and maybe eventually show some shows 6months after they are released.
We don't have the web-TV stuff like you do in the US yet...so we have to rely on Torrents...and they wonder why we are pirates!? It's bloody crazy!!
Whatever decision is made the common loser in any dramatic change is usually the customer.
More so this happens with outsourcing when 1st/2nd level support is setup in countries that have little experience with technology of any sort and then have to try and deal with an already 'hot' environment. It can take years for the inexperienced outsourced team to even get settled into processes that allow them to handle the new business and culture attached to it...most fail to even come close yet the savings speak otherwise.
until the profits stagnate too!...then talk turns to bringing things back onshore.
Whatever happened to plain old striving for efficiency through process improvement? rather than profit chasing...
