Agreed with Steve.
Still there is much potential as there are many more services required a virtual assistant.
To cut cost most of the organization in west is looking for outsourcing there projects so that they have low project cost and they got better output too.
Indians have the locational advantage as well as low wages rates can offer services at low cost.
Just my 2C :)

The Lighter Side of Outsourcing
It is no secret that airlines throughout the world are hurting in an era of high oil prices.
When economic weakness is combined with high wage contracts negotiated by unions, it is only natural that work flows to where the cost of production is lower.
