6. Gartner on Budget “The budget of 2011 is largely aimed at continuing the growth momentum seen in 2010. The emphasis has largely been on bridging the digital divide through use of IT and technology. This will translate into boost for domestic IT consumption. The plan to build the National Knowledge Network to connect 1500 institutions of higher learning and research through optical fiber backbone by March 2012 is a step in the right direction. Countries like Singapore have benefitted immensely from similar initiatives” - Gartner
