One of the reasons that IT took off in India was because it was not a sector recognized by the Indian govt. to be of any importance and was thus free from ridiculous laws that exist in other areas. Now that has changed, expect more boneheaded interference from them.
The govts only contribution to IT was nothing. It's the best they could ever do.
When it first started, back with modems which went to 14.4k, the fact that no one understood it or it's implications was the only reason it succeeded.
Otherwise the rent seekers or the security focused would have probably killed it at inception.
