One would hope that AT&T gets and IBM get something for their money. If the flow is $100 million to IBM, and AT&T nets a $200 million value from workers in India, maybe it is still a net flow to the US. If the US can trade a simple change in a computer record (a US dollar transfer) for stuff it wants, seems like a net positive. Economics is a complicated system with lots of feedback where the actors in the system can change the system itself.
