But he did point to a possibility of difficulties in getting frequencies from the TRC, as it is generally recognized that the allotment of frequencies tends to be 'highly politicised' in Sri Lanka.<BR/><BR/>The parent company in India could also be changing its priorities as regards capital allocations, in the context of the growing challenges in the more lucrative Indian domestic market, Samarajeewa said.<BR/><BR/>'Even assuming that the mobile phone market in Sri Lanka is 10 million, it is still only the size of a metropolis in India. It is therefore possible that Bharti Airtel is looking at some of the Indian states with greater interest,' he said.<BR/><BR/>In 2007, Bharti Airtel had set up a Sri Lankan subsidiary, Bharti Airtel Lanka Pvt Ltd., got a license to provide 2G and 3G services in collaboration with China's Huawei Technologies, announced an investment of $200 million and began to recruit a large staff. The services were to begin by 2007 end. This subsequently got postponed to early 2008. But, as yet, there are no signs of an early start.<BR/><BR/>'When it announced its entry, I expected Bharti Airtel to literally slaughter the existing players. But given the recent changes in the price structure here, and the intense competition in the field, the Indian company will have to be quite creative if it is to be more than just a minor player,' Samarajeewa said.<BR/><BR/>The market is small and crowded. The fixed line and mobile phone penetration in Sri Lanka is very high. Forty to 50 percent of the households in the island (excluding the war-affected north and east) have access to a phone. Out of a total population of 20 million, six million have mobile phones. With the recently announced price reductions, the user-base is expected to rise to 10 million, or half the total population of the country.<BR/><BR/>There are already four players in the field. Among them, Dialog Telekom, a unit of Telecom Malaysia, has been the leader, controlling 60 percent of the market. Dialog has enjoyed brand loyalty for a considerable length of time throughout Sri Lanka, and is, therefore, no pushover.<BR/><BR/>Bharti Airtel would have to come up with innovative packages to attract the bottom rungs of the socio-economic ladder, an area of rapid growth in the foreseeable future, Samarajeewa pointed out. While price will be of the highest importance for those in the bottom-end of the social scale, technical qualities will be a clincher among the upper strata of society.<BR/><BR/>Asked for the reasons for the delay in starting operations, Bharti Airtel Lanka's CEO, Amali Nanayakkara, said her company had very stringent requirements in regard to the infrastructure and that it would not start operations until all the requirements were met.<BR/><BR/>But she denied that there were any difficulties in getting official clearances. The setting up of the network was also proceeding satisfactorily. The company was 'very happy' with the cooperation of the Sri Lankan authorities, and the pace of the work was also 'very good', Nanayakkara told IANS.<BR/><BR/>As for the price factor, she said that it was nothing new. 'It was there right from the time we came here,' she said.<BR/><BR/>http://story.srilankasource.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/119937e494dd663e/id/330795/cs/1/Mariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434089737135453243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-49924519188028716402008-02-25T20:54:00.000+05:302008-02-25T20:54:00.000+05:30Sun rises again(Lanka-e-news, 25 Feb. 2008, 6.00PM...Sun rises again<BR/><BR/>(Lanka-e-news, 25 Feb. 2008, 6.00PM) 'Hiru Media Network' banned by the Government sometime ago has obtained a new licence and commenced their transmissions.<BR/><BR/>One of the Asst. Managers of 'Hiru' told Lanka-e-news that they have started their transmissions in indoor studios and outdoor transmissions will be started by March.<BR/><BR/>The licence issued to 'Hiru' was cancelled by the Minister of Media and Information saying that false news was aired by them about a LTTE attack to Ranminitenna in Tissamaharama. Chairman of 'Hiru' Media Network has submitted a petition to the courts against the Minister;s order, but it was rejected. However, there were no objections from Courts to get a new licence.<BR/><BR/>After this incident, Mr. Duminda Silva, UNP member of Western Provincial Council, and brother of 'Hiru' Local Partner, Mr. Reynor Silva, resigned from UNP and joined SLFP. Then, political and media rumours spread all over saying that this crossing over is to get the licence back, but, at a press conference, Mr. Duminda Silva stated that there were no connections between his crossing over to SLFP and the cancelled licence.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, it is reported that President's son, Mr. Namal Rajapakshe is going to be appointed as a Director of 'Hiru Media Network', but so far, no such appointment is made, said the above Asst. Manager.MERINO ROSHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738759373590006883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-17674277079825590522008-02-25T20:16:00.000+05:302008-02-25T20:16:00.000+05:30thanks admin-------------------------------------S...thanks admin<BR/><BR/>-------------------------------------<BR/><A HREF="http://srilankainfocus.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Sri Lanka In Focus-NEWS & CHAT</A>LKDOODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426997279106115254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-71729301091309053632008-02-25T18:21:00.000+05:302008-02-25T18:21:00.000+05:304th TP Start mpeg 4now on testing4th TP Start mpeg 4<BR/>now on testingrupavahinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878471545368085702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-38810026700749847722008-02-25T15:14:00.000+05:302008-02-25T15:14:00.000+05:30Dear AdminThanks for deleting the unnecessary comm...Dear Admin<BR/><BR/>Thanks for deleting the unnecessary comments.

Recently, Bharat Business of the Videocon group also received government nod to start DTH operations. <BR/><BR/>It is learnt that the set-top boxes for Reliance’s DTH venture are being sourced from Korea, China and Taiwan. <BR/><BR/>Although the company had initially planned an order of around 2 million set-top boxes, subsequently it increased the target to 5 million, sensing an opportunity in the television market. <BR/>Of the 120 million TV households in India, only 70 million have cable connections. <BR/>DTH is still in its infancy in India, and there’s sufficient room for growth. By 2015, 40% of the pay TV universe (cable TV and DTH) is likely to be DTH users, significantly up from around the present 5%, according to industry projections<BR/><BR/>RCom, sources said, is looking at ways to reduce the cost of set-top boxes by up to 20% through its mega order. <BR/><BR/>The current landed cost of an MPEG4-enabled set-top box that RCom will deploy ranges from $55-$60 in the global market. The DTH platform of RCom is currently undergoing tests.<BR/><BR/>A recent analyst report by the Kotak group pointed out that the entry of more players would coincide with potentially aggressive pricing strategies in the DTH space. <BR/><BR/>The report added that “DTH subscriber volumes would grow strongly over the next several years, led by rising affordability”.<BR/><BR/>Recently, Dish TV CEO Arun Kumar Kapoor told DNA Money that “there’s room for 4-5 DTH players in the country”.alfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242919835716690032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-15347055557460099652008-02-24T10:39:00.000+05:302008-02-24T10:39:00.000+05:30have just got this information from one of my sour...have just got this information from one of my sources inside Dish TV India that the channels B4U Music and B4U Movies are to be added very soon in the Dish TV platform, so people can now rejoice over this news!<BR/><BR/>Both of these channels are one of my personal favorites, with B4U Music giving us the top songs and B4U Movies displaying movies round the clock.<BR/><BR/>The reason these channels were removed was because they were not being aired with the quality DishTV wanted to provide its customers, and some technicalities were there which forced DishTV to remove B4U’s channels, there were also some encoding issues. Ways have been worked out for this and the problem is in its final stages.<BR/><BR/>Expect both the channels to be on your STB from the end of March.alfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242919835716690032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-15455820862313009852008-02-24T09:50:00.000+05:302008-02-24T09:50:00.000+05:30or click hereor click <A HREF="http://cityhits.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>PSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575058072447107471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-36103571103784734352008-02-24T09:49:00.000+05:302008-02-24T09:49:00.000+05:30'CTV', the first television broadcast dedicated fo...'CTV', the first television broadcast dedicated for teledramas began telecast from February 1, from 10 am to 1 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday on TNL channel.

Through CTV, viewers will have the opportunity to watch their much popular teledramas and award winning teledramas, 'Pem Piyawara' at 10 am, 'Bedde Gedara' at 10.30am, 'Diyaketa Pahana' at 11 am, 'Naana Kamaraya' at 11.30 am and 12 noon 'Doo Daruwo' on weekdays. <BR/><BR/>On Saturdays teledrama 'Bidena Beduma' will be telecast at 11 am, 'Vihanga Geethaya' at 11.30 am, 'Dedunu Yanaya' at 12 noon, 'Sanda Amawakai' at 2 pm, 'Mayaratne' at 2.30 pm and 'Dangayanta Pamanai' at 3 pm will be telecast along with other music and documentary programmes. <BR/><BR/>At this event, the CTV felicitated four institutions which conduct award ceremonies to promote talent in the television medium. Rev. Fr. Benedict Joseph for organizing Signis Tele Awards Festival, Chairman of Sumathi Newspapers Limited, Thilanga Sumathipala for organizing "Sumathi Tele Awards", Chairman of the National Film Corporation, Jayantha Dharmadasa for organizing 'State Tele Awards Ceremony' and Chairman of the Kingdom of Raigam, Dr. Ravi Liyanage for organizing 'Raigam Tele Awards'. <BR/><BR/>At this event the CTV also felicitated veteran actress Irangani Serasinghe and teledrama producer Sanya Mendis for their contribution to the teledrama industry. The day also marked the opening of media academy for training talented younger generation for Television, Cinema, Radio, Advertising, Information Technology and the creative use of the visual medium with digital technology.<BR/><BR/>The training which comprises both practical and theory is conducted by Prof. Tissa Kariyawasam. The CTV also has initiated a project to make available popular teledramas as DVDs and the first teledrama which was converted to DVD format was Jayantha Chandrasiri's 'Akala Sandyawa'. This would give an opportunity for Sri Lankans abroad and for others who have missed, an opportunity to see and enjoy them.<BR/>Source: <A HREF="http://www.sundaytimes.lk/080224/TV/tv-times00009.html" REL="nofollow">The Sunday Times</A>PSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575058072447107471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519566873560806625.post-23484335269811192252008-02-23T20:06:00.000+05:302008-02-23T20:06:00.000+05:30@ SonikYes, they probably relay channels using Dia...@ Sonik<BR/>Yes, they probably relay channels using Dialog TV connections.
