Mainframes for India?

The other parts of this are staffing and outsourcing. Very few new people are learning mainframe skills now, and that's a looming crisis for mainframes (you still need mainframe skills even when running Linux there). IBM will increasingly push outsourcing services to India (and Russia and China, mentioned in the Register article) as first-world CIOs find they can no longer find COBOL programmers or z/OS systems people to run their systems (at least not at the numbers they need and at salaries they're willing to pay), Moving operations off shore will hide the problem on the other side of the world, and under a different budget line item so the still-high costs won't be so obvious.
I think this action is clearly targeted to search for other customers as the life support for this technology.
