Interesting insight. I would have thought it would be the other way. Here in the USA, the internet has actually enabled people to make a good living and be successful without having to go to where the action is (like cities). I would think that, for example, it would be easier to run a web-based business in the Highlands these days, which would perhaps make it easier for people to stay in their homeland instead of having to leave to find success.
Yes I am sorry we have gone off the track somewhat, interestingly the original question and many of the answers confirm my thoughts.That is just an observation, not in any way, a criticism.

To answer Tobus's questions before getting back on course. I don't know how the Government's scheme works, but I am pretty certain that there is no financial incentive from them.

The problem with the Internet type business is if you are manufacturing, buying or selling finished goods, the Highlands is so far away from the market place where the money is. If it ideas or pictures you are selling, then an Internet business should work pretty well.Also I am not at all sure that the internet is available to all up here.
