In this essay the government's vision of building a Cyberport has been questioned. has been that physical proximity of businesses is not vital in this high tech age, and that buildings offering broadband communication capability already exist in Hong Kong. has also been that although the project will create employment, much of the necessary labour force will have to be imported.
