>From what i understand is part of the work will be done in the US so that would disqualify the so called locals. Coz for Nokia to pick a local, they would have to show the local has extra ordinary abilities. But again, thats not cast in stone as in there are many loop holes that can be exploited, so i guess if they really want to Nokia can actually get locals to do the same thing.

That would lead me to believe also that maybe there is a third party sponsor to this project that has specified that its for US college students.

Be that as it may.....they can still use local people and have the findings and presentations done in the US.

I dont think...an odiero with only two weeks familarisation can do a better job than a local who really understands the situation.

I agree with saidimu's analogy.

My 2 cents tells me Nokia would prefer to get students in US colleges to do this. For one its a process and a half to get past the tough US immigration laws to allow aliens to work in US. A student in a US college would in this case already have a permit that allows them to work 20hrs a week in US among other things.

Chris,

Humour us, but honestly we should seek clarification cause it does not make sense; unless it is best viewed as being discriminatory.
