This is true. The most talented Oracle DBA I have ever worked with, with the possible exception of Jared, was an Indian contractor. He was one of several indian contractors working on the project at the time. One of the others was quite competent as well, but those two weren't being billing billed at a cheap rate. The rest of the whole flock of indian developers were each billing $50 an hour, but couldn't collectively select from dual. There are exceptions, but realistically you do get what you pay for. Outsourcing Hardware doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and a company shifting it's technical talent to a remote spot a dozen time zones and several languages, not to mention dialects, away can't realistically save THAT much money in practice.
