Intellect has said that the recent PASC report on government and IT includes allegations of anti-competitive behaviour and collusion, and suggestions of a 'cartel' operating in the ICT industry.

Intellect stated: "As the trade body for the ICT sector, we want to make it clear that this is not the case and cartels do not exist in our industry. On the contrary, this is a highly competitive market. Intellect would cooperate with any investigation into such allegations, but we believe it would be a waste of public money."
