Another thing they can't outsource is fixing the equipment, they can contract it out but they still need to be local.

well according to the article that was discussing the technology, it was to outsource. They weren't planning on having the technology for special surgeries, but were specifically having the technology to outsource surgeons in Europe to surgeons from India. The technology already exists, they're just trying to make it more widely used for common procedures. One of the problems that's keeping it from being widely used is the amount of lag that they experience.
