I've been in IT for almost 20 years now and that is how its ALWAYS been done. Way before they outsourced over seas, level one tech support always read from a script and got just as confused when they had to deviate in any way from the script.

Honestly, other than the language barrier, I don't see much difference in the way Tech Support is working. Its always worked like that
