I have heard that the United States produces 75% of the world's 
software.  I doubt that that level can be sustained in the long 
run, so we can expect increases in offshore software development.  
This might even help in some small way to balance world income 
distribution.  I understand that companies in India, Singapore, 
Taiwan, Ireland, Hungary, Korea, etc. are producing proprietary 
and packaged software for the US (and other countries).  

I'm writing a column on Latin American software and would like 
input.  Does anyone have personal experience with these projects?  
How do they work out?  What are the payoffs and difficulties?  
What sorts of planning, subsidies or infrastructure do the 
producing governments provide?  Etc.

Does anyone have pointers to articles, case studies, reports, 
etc. in this area?
