Xyned,
The IT industry is rather broad and your 4 point list is somewhat narrow. IT industry can be hardware, software, installation, development, support, operations etc.
There are many IT consultancy firms here, but in your list they are disqualified since they are being paid to mop up botched IT operations?? Many IT specialists here are working for firms.
Many IT support functions are part of the vendor. Acer has 3 official dealers here in Doha and they also do software related stuff like removing viruses. Reason is because many people that buy a Computer brand X, go to that same supplier whenever their software of brand Y is not working.
Perhaps you definition of IT industry is what you see of it when you read the paper or walk in the street?
Did you ever go to Sofitel where they can make a computer as you like it. How about the people that installed the open source software for this website/forum.
Are you looking for some kind of service? Were you unlucky to find it and decided to post this? Or do you just want to make a point? Bad hair day?
ICT Qatar by the way, is the oversight body here in Qatar to stimulate and regulate ICT services (QTel, security awareness, Qcert etc)
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can
be counted counts."
