I use github, and off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you how to bypass it.

Is it dns based? I guess you could manually set up the correct IP addresses locally for the host names. Other than that, I'd have to read.

VPN pipe most likely. At least, that's what I would do.

My guess is someone will set up a proxy service specifically for this.

So all of a sudden work being outsourced to India needs to go through a VPN located somewhere else in the world. Whoever is doing the work will need to jump through at least a couple of hoops to set that up and keep working through it. Additional costs will be introduced. It's not a show-stopper, but it seems as though it could easily have a material impact.
