ICT covers a very broad field and depending on a person's specific interest, he will only see a portion of this spectrum. Initially, I was certain of my perspective but now I am not sure that I have settled in my mind the extent to which developing countries can compete with developed countries in ICT.
Two things are occupying my thought at the moment. First of all, no country has a monopoly on intellect therefore from that perspective, some amount of leveling of the playing field has already been established.
Secondly, equity does not mean same. The ICT needs of developing countries might be significantly different to those of their more developed counterparts. Who knows, what in one perspective is woefully inadequate might be lavish from another perspective. Hmm.
