I think that being a viable commercial proposition depends on the cost 
structure and customer expectations.  OmniTI has a high cost model 
with presumably highly-compensated individuals living in presumably 
high cost of living areas.

A small company in Slovakia could likely accomplish what a company in 
the San Francisco bay area could not.
