Lets word it different: It outsourcing is existing business. If good or
bad for whomever is what one can judge on its own.
To all higher priced companies: Do not forget that it is rarely the
*price* that sells something. Sure its getting harder if competitors
are out, but this exists since ages. We startet here with leased lines
selling for about 3500.- EUR per month. Now the same lines cost about
150.- EUR per month. Domains cost about 250.- EUR per *year* now they are
at about 12.- EUR. What happened? In fact ot had increased the business.
There are now *more* people having leased lines, there are now much more
people having domains. (More than there need to be IMHO)

> Is $1000/month dumping price for IT-job???
> Yes for Germany, no for India.

:-) Wee if the indian people had to live in germany they had more
problems. But this is what we are facing everywhere: Look at "Opel"
where the workers at Opel face the competition of the polish
factories. So competition is there and will be there.

> A lot of European IT-companies  outsource projects to India.
Yes and some get it back, as they notice the problems. IBM e.g.
was in the news.

> And help this Indian IT-outsourcing companies to do business.
> But anyone can see this dumping Indian price!!!

But it might be that some companies do not want to work with
others that "dump" the prices. Anyway: Usually you "dump" the
prices be streamlining them. See self service restaurants. The
money they save in service the money the people pay less. So
this might happen with TYPO3 as well. Streamlined products
based on TYPO3. The product is "as is", and is cheap. It only
gets a problem if the "individual" stuff costs more and has less
than such a streamlined product. But this should not happen.
