DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4fmg4t/sri_lanka_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Sri Lanka - Mobile Communications, Broadcasting and Forecasts" report to their offering.
The highly competitive mobile market in Sri Lanka had been running with a healthy overall annual growth rate for some years. With mobile penetration is still relatively low compared with other more developed Asian markets, having reached 87% by the middle of 2011, the strong annual growth has moderated a little and was continuing at around 20%. The market has undoubtedly benefited from its liberalisation and the competition that came with four operators seriously battling it out for market share. This is despite one of these - Dialog Telekom - still clinging to a large slice (still around 40% by mid-2011) of the market.
The number of mobile operators increased to five with Bharti Airtel Lanka launching a mobile service in 2009. Bharti hit the market hard, signing up one million subscribers in just six months. This report presents an overview of mobile phone services in Sri Lanka. The country's TV broadcasting sector is also briefly reviewed.
Key developments:
-
Etisalat Sri Lanka announced commercial launch of an HSPA network.
