In South Africa, there is a tendency to believe that all IT activity can only be confined to three hubs, with over 70 percent of action taking place in the Gauteng area.

The problem with this viewpoint is that it has become self-fulfilling. Because there is little or no infrastructure in the regions, big business doesn`t move in to sell services. Without the presence of regional offices to support these sales, no infrastructure gets developed, and the cycle perpetuates.
