The subcontractor question comes up quite often. If an organization offered a subcontractor service (eliminates the question of whether its your employee are not, the subcontractor is provided as a service from the organization, its their problem whether its an employee or not, not yours), what would the ideal scenario be?
minimum required skills, company representation, scheduling, ability to utilize your management system, time commitments, minimum availability/responsiveness, quality of work, insurance/bonding, etc. Assuming the organization also offered other industry beneficial services (contracted tower crew, fiber splicing, Tower/site inspection and mitigation recomendations, climber certification, etc) -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
