Computer Society darfted the first IT Policy in 1999, that was adopted by Dr. Atta in MoITT, the documents was made comprehensive after input from +200 IT professionals those participated in formulation of IT Policy. Action plan for Rs.4/billion was also there, its the implementation that was not done, only Rs. 400/m spent that was given to univerities. Focus shifted to Mobile telephony year 2001 onwards, and all forgot IT goals. $20/billion was spent in Telecom since year 2000, but IT share is less than 10%. I am afraid due to mutual business interest of Netsol+AOS the document has been kept close to chest. It shall be a public document; discussed publically through a process under Member IT, MoITT. Ownership is with MoITT. The key of each national IT policy is (electronic) Integration of economy; that include business & industry, Govt, trade, logistics, banking, citizen and other stakeholders. All other items revolves around it. It is missing. This is unfortunate!
