Even in low-income nations, its only false in the short term. If you have skilled programmers with computers and Internet connections then their wages inflate to the world norm. IIRC India is seeing 20%/year wage inflation for comp-sci graduates. And thats without the impact of H1-B and related programmes around the world.
It's true that India seems to be going in that direction, but personally I don't feel I have the background or temerity to suggest that it will definitely happen for the rest of the world.
