Well it’s nice to see the rapid rise in internet traffic on the island. Everywhere you go you see internet call centers and people talking about online this and that. I presume that eventually the popularity of the internet is going to catch up with our tiny island. Why has it taken longer in our country compared to other places ? We need to identify what Sri Lanka needs to get connected and the milestones that need to be achieved to reach connectivity. A lot of people in Sri Lanka would benefit from an email address … what would make the general population want to have email? Mobile phones have rapidly caught up and cost much more. Ease of access and instant connectivity make the mobile phone a better choice. Our present commercial setup and infrastructure has promoted the development of mobile telecommunication faster than any other medium. Your thoughts?
