If they are "Bangalored" -- and I mean specifically outsourced, not just 
happen to be jobs by companies that provide Asterisk solutions in India 
or other Third World economies -- it is because they involve something 
sufficiently well-specified and processised that this kind of cog can 
become of it.

Time to get creative, start a business, and make your own Asterisk job. 
  VoIP is still a very incipient phenomenon on the uptake, particularly 
OSS VoIP adoption, so marketplace saturation isn't there yet to teach 
people its value so that you can presume upon anything.

It's a tired cliche, but really, you can't outsource creativity.  People 
can and must pay US $ rates for that.  Offshored development / generic 
backoffice business process support efforts did not bring us Asterisk in 
the first place.
