Boru danna epa ban. 108. Also, the current capacity of public utilities such as electricity, water supply
and sewage and solid waste disposal, telecommunication and internet, and
public transport is barelyadequate to cater to a modern economy effectively
and efficiently. The principle of "Magapolis" could be a welcome option to
address such issues in the Western Province.
189. I propose to form a special purpose company under the Information and Communication
Technology Authority (ICTA) to bring about sharing of telecommunication resources
efficiently and to protect air waves and the environment. All the fiber optics owned by
telecommunication companies and other authorities including the Ceylon Electricity Board,
Road Development Authority and Sri Lanka Railways as well as spectrum and mobile
towers are to be brought into this company.
Tax on Telecommunication industry
579. Hon. Speaker, International Telecommunication Operator Levy (ITOL) was charged on
incoming international calls on per minute basis by USD Cents 9 per minute. Out of the
amount, only USD Cents 3 per minute is creditedto the Consolidated Fund by operators. In
addition to I propose to increase ITOL from USD Cents 9 to USD Cents 12 and total
increase to be credited to the Consolidated Fund. The TRCSL has requested that the transit
tariff revenue be exempted from the gross turnover for the purpose of cess payment in
order to increase the competitiveness for international transit traffic and thus increasing the
inflow of foreign revenue. Considering the negative environmental impact, I also like to
propose an annual fee of Rs.50,000/- per tower.
