They had it right originally

quote:
In an LUS-dominated market, Oliver said Thursday, BellSouth would have less incentive to keep a call center in an area where it has diminished business interests, especially considering those same services could be performed by people in "Timbuktu."
...
The headline running over The Advocate's metro edition story Friday said "BellSouth threatens pullout." The Advocate ran a correction acknowledging that the word "threat" should not have been used in the headline.
I think the article, while maybe not the most accurate, is exactly what BellSouth meant. They just didn't say it. You could call it "threatens", "considers", "suggests", or "insinuates". They all mean similar things. BellSouth knew exactly what they were saying and knew exactly how it would be interpreted. They just didn't flat out say it. BellSouth's PR firm and management aren't rookies you know.

Not having a financial interest in the area where the call center is located must explain why "Timbuktu" would be chosen over Lafayette. They have a lot of financial interest in Africa, unless there is another Timbuktu in the USA.
