Pakistan has a potential to export US$ 10 billion of IT services world wide i think. 1.5 billion is peanuts.

Pakistan has the potential to do well in IT & BPO, but instability and power shortage are major hindrances....It these problems addressed there will be lot of scope for employment for educated youth of medium merit...(Higher merit people should be in more sophisticated jobs like research, R&D etc)

The competition is quite tough nowadays.If this was happening some 20 years back,then it would have been a great act of foresight.
