It's not a lower-cost model, it just looks like it is a lower-cost model. If it costs you $85k to develop an application locally, and instead you end up paying $25k for an offshore provider, but they take 4 times as long to deliver (if they ever do), you aren't saving money.
The client I have worked with, I have rarely seen success stories from offshoring any part of IT.
Just recently, I watched a gaming studio that I am a fan of, find out all the art for a mobile game they developed was stolen from other games.
