I'd agree with this. There is also a denial that IT needs smart people
and the associated budgets to pay for smart people. In Bangalore, for
example, it is impossible to hire a decent IT person because:

a. No one wants to pay what is needed to hire one.

b. Even if you are, the big web shops: Yahoo, Google, Akamai and
others have sucked up the limited supply of talent by paying way more
than you could reasonable pay.
