Sri Lankan telecom operators are gearing up to take on India’s Airtel, which is launching its operations in Sri Lanka next year. "Sri Lankans are very quality conscious. Good customer services and uninterrupted facility will help us to stay ahead in the mobile service sector," Lankan telecom major Dialog Telekom’s General Manager Nushad Perera told reporters here.
He was speaking at a conference to announce the company’s plan to strengthen telecom services in rural areas of the country. "We welcome competition from any company including Airtel," Perera said, adding that Dialog Telekom had done well to overtake other competitors in Sri Lanka to become the number one mobile service provider with a 60 per cent market share.
Experts here feel the telecom operators in Sri Lanka would initially have the advantage of the advanced 3G mobile services that would give them a headstart over Airtel as this service is still to be launched in India.
