Its too much so I will bite............... Some times you mow your own yard, sometimes you hire the kid down the street.
Outsourcing has its place, a consultant (I am one) is a form of outsourcing, I hire others to do my work when I am busy (out sourcee, out sourcing). It all comes down to what time is worth, if you are busy then its worth more and if you are slow its worth less. Consultants/outsourcing allows a company to scale, there are good and bad consultants out there. Reasonable pay should be double what is needed, unless you get out of paying taxes some how. Linux support is still rare in some areas and adding on Asterisk support becomes a very valued service.
