Actually many of their support staff are outsourced through GlowTouch which is an Indian based support firm. It's in the EIGI S1 filing here: http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FileName=000...

Unless you're in Burlington you probably aren't familiar with the brands you don't work at. Most of them have support provided through GlowTouch. Even HostGator USA has GlowTouch Indians doing transfers and helping in ticket queues.
