Hi to all!
Wow! This discussion is heating up fassst!
Here are my scenarios (the good, the bad
and the ugly):
1. Self-Sustaining ICT sector - (I mentioned this
 in the last meeting as well) where the sector
 of ICT will be able to exist on its own two
 feet, get the investment it requires (something
 more sustainable than the 1million techy
 fund please!!), and use resources from our island
 without the need to import brains from abroad.
 I would classify this as a GOOD scenario!
2. Copy Cat ICT sector - where ideas are not new but
 simply copied over from foreign counterparts and
 redistributed. The Piracy industry would be in
 its golden era and people would not appreciate
 innovations... they would just stick labels saying
 "Made in Malta" on any copied concept they use!
 This would be BAD.
3. Dinosaur Maltese ICT (to carry on the Animal Farm
 after Joe's elephants) - where local software
 developers are registering as unemployed as there
 is no more need for them. Microsoft has bought the
 country and has changed Malta into Microsoftland.
 Work is carried out in Seattle anyhow and only
 tax consultants have some serious work to do. On
 the bright side, we all have a free laptop and a
 little chip grafted inside our skin (Intel inside)
 which becomes flourescent in the dark and one can
 easily discern "Microsoftland Serial number:
 1234-ehwd certificate of authenticity!" :-)
 Do I need to tell you that this would be UGLY??
Ciao!
Angele
