Just in on the fax: Boeing buys C-Map
Seattle, Jan 31, 2007
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today announced it has concluded its purchase of C-Mapo, a leading provider of digital marine cartography, data services, and other navigational information. C-Map will become a part of Jeppesen's marine division. Jeppesen is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services. (gratuitous puffery and standard press release quotes from highly placed officials deleted) |

Jeppesen has been around for a long time, supplying charts and electronics to the aviation crowd, private and commercial. Eisboch |

They'll be moving development from Italy and tech support from Massachusetts to Bangladore, where the "help," which cannot really speak English, will read off of scripts through lousy IP telephone connections. .....with waxed paper wrapped around their mouthpieces. :-) |

I speak perfect, unaccented English, but I sometimes work with a lot of people who do not, typically immigrants whose native language is Spanish, or older contractors whose first language is Italian or Polish or German, and damn it if they don't work hard at learning our language and our idioms so they can be understood. But so many of these so-called English-speaking "tech" folks in India aren't even close to speaking "English as she is spoke." Tech support, my a**. Looks like learning Hindi wouldn't help ..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...uages_of_India Eisboch |

All in an effort to increase the profits of the companies that union pension funds "invest" in so that their members can eventually retire. |
