Telecom service provider Bharti Airtel has entered the Sri Lankan market to offer 2.5 and 3.5 generation (HSPA) services. The company is reported to be investing around $200 million for the operation.


 


With this, Airtel becomes the 5th telecom service provider in Sri Lanka. It will now be competing for subscribers against Dialog Telekom -- hogs 60 percent of the subscribers in SL - Mobitel, a unit of Sri Lanka Telecom, Tigo, part of Millicom International Cellular, and Hutchison Telecom.


 


Here's what Airtel promises to bring to the Sri Lankan market:

  • Removal of differences in peak and off peak call rates and within network and outside the network call rates (users in Sri Lanka till now didn't have a unified tariff for outgoing calls)
  • Unconditional free incoming calls to all customers
  • 50% lower rates while on roaming, to India
  • State-of-the-art HSPA technology backed by world-class customer care
There are more than 6 million mobile users in Sri Lanka. Airtel hopes to attract a major chunk of these users and potential subscribers to use its services by offering cheaper tariff, more value-added services, and better connectivity.
