n_nepal, thanks for your input. At least the core points has been identified. Do you have any details of strategy to be developed to overcome these factors? Can you please provide a detail report on this? And can you email details of your assocation? The major problem I have seen in Nepal is people at policy level don't have vision for IT Business. How can you expect someone to develop national IT policy who is just learning MS word? My suggestin is get some Nepalese who have been working in USA or other for more than 5 years. Hire them to develop a long term strategy even though if Nepal government need to pay million for them. This will have love term return for the country like that for India. Organize seminar in Nepal (not the common type seminar that are organized in Nepal just to spend budget), targeting international companies and to make them aware of the potential in Nepal. Let's have them in Nepal even if we need to bring them in our own cost. Thanks. LOVE NEPAL ALWAYS :)
