Telecoms transition in Sri Lanka: a model for small countries

Abstract

Discusses Sri Lanka’s deregulation of its telecommunication sector and how its government opened doors for private sector participation. Uses 7 Tables to aid in further explanation of how conditions were in helping the private sector operators, foreign investment, cellular mobile telephone operators, fixed access network operators and the interconnections of networks. Concludes Sri Lanka’s telecoms network needs major upgrading and development, but even so Sri Lanka is well on its way to being the Asia‐Pacific’s more progressive market member.
