Generic high-technology such as ICT, have been developed in different countries and societies based on variant developing models. These models are raised from distinctive views & paradigms; hence policies and advices would be different, even contradicted. ICT as the most obvious and well known generic high-tech, in different countries is developed and grown in different ways, and by different policies. This study is focused on the most important local views on developing ICT in Iran, so similarities and dissimilarities of views are introduced. By using Delphi method, ideas of Iranian experts in developing ICT are gathered, in 2 rounds. Then experts are clustered in different independent clusters, based on their ideas, concerns & advices in S&T policies. Results show that there are 4 different groups of views on ICT developing in Iran, so each cluster advices different policies and strategies; in proportion with others. Competitions between these views prevent dominance of one view in developing ICT; it makes policies inconsistent, However.
