It is fairly easy to pick up computer science. I have no reason to believe that Pakistan cannot do it. In fact, sooner or later they will. Connecting the cites is simply not enough to match India. They have to implement a different environment so that people can express themselves freely in order to create new ideas.
Initiatives have to come from the grassroots.
However, India started its IT revolution decades ago, and it is far ahead of all the countries in the region, and even many developed countries in the world. IT is has embedded itself into India's culture and will not slow down to the point where other nations either catch up to it or surpass it. You need an open and a free thinking mind to excel in this field. India has already done it. This environment is very unhealthy for development especially for information technology.
