This article describes the facilitating roles played by the large pool of Information Technology (IT) personnel, fast diffusion of personal computers, telecom infrastructure, and digital networks, and the active foreign involvements. At the same time, the article identifies a number of factors such as slow speed, high costs, murky regulations, imbalanced development, and absence of credit systems, limiting the current growth. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
