Micron moving production offshore

In a joint press release of 3/3/08 Micron Technology Inc. and Nanya Technology Corporation announced the formation of a joint venture.

“Partnering with Nanya would be significant to Micron as we continue to drive toward the most cost-effective ways to grow and innovate. Nanya has proven its capabilities to be a leader in manufacturing technology and is strategically located near our growing customer base,” said Mark Durcan, Micron’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

Any Donkey wonders if Micron has considered "strategically" moving production offshore in an effort to avoid paying Rambus Inc. royalties.
