 Sri Lanka - Fixed Network Operators
Sri Lanka's telecom sector has seen considerable expansion in recent years, although from a relatively small base. After the liberalisation of telecom sector in 1991, the process was further accelerated when Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) was part privatised in 1997 and then subject to an IPO in 2002/03. SLT, the provider of basic telephone services in Sri Lanka, started to lose its monopoly status in 1996. The number of fixed-line telephone service operators in the country grew to three, and, together with four mobile operators, around 40 other companies started providing a variety of telecommunications services around the country. This report looks at SLT and some of the other leading players in the market.

Sri Lanka - Internet Market
Until 1999, there were only six Internet Service Providers in Sri Lanka. The number jumped quickly to 23 and has included a number of innovative operators. As this report indicates, Internet and other forms of data services have been starting to take off in the country, but coverage and accessibility is limited (user penetration is estimated around 2%) and the sophistication of the services available remains low. The early moves to offer broadband Internet in the country have met with limited success and it will be some time before there is a viable broadband market. As well as providing an overview of Sri Lanka's Internet sector, this report takes a brief look at the wider data market.

Sri Lanka - Key Statistics Telecom Market Overview & Forecasts
Sri Lanka's telecommunications sector has had to contend with a developing market in the difficult context of a nearly two-decade-long conflict between the government and separatist Tamil Tiger rebels. With the hope of an enduring peace and a general improvement in the country's social and economic well-being, the telecom sector is well positioned for vigorous growth. As this report describes, there are a range of major initiatives in place that are set to boost the building of national infrastructure and open the market to more competition. SLT losing its monopoly on international calls has led the way, as the market is progressively opened up to more and more competition.

Sri Lanka - Mobile Communications and Broadcasting
The highly competitive mobile market in Sri Lanka has been running with a healthy overall annual growth rate of 50-60% for the last few years. With mobile penetration still relatively low (compared with some of the other Asian markets) approaching 40% in early 2008, the strong growth was continuing. The market has undoubtedly benefited from the liberalisation of the market and the competition that comes with having four operators seriously battling for market share. This is despite one of these - Dialog Telekom - having close to 56% market share. This report presents an overview of mobile phone services in Sri Lanka. The country's TV broadcasting sector is also briefly reviewed.
