“We have already filed our objection (court) against this proposed deal, and we hope that the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) will attend to this matter very seriously and avoid any sort of unfair competition,” he said.
“Dialog will own Airtel’s spectrum rights through the proposed merger, giving Dialog an unfair advantage as the government owns the spectrum. We as a Sri Lanka Telecom recommends the TRC to take over Airtel’s existing spectrum ownership, which can then be transferred transparently to the appropriate agency via open bidding process or any other acceptable process”.
In similar occasion, TRCSL has instructed Hutchison Telecommunications Lanka (Pvt) Limited (Hutch Lanka) to hand over 5MHz of its 900MHz band spectrum to TRCSL, subsequent to its merger with the Etisalat Lanka (Private) Limited (ESL).
Spectrum range is an important asset and resource for mobile network operators (MNOs), and additional spectrum ownership could provide significant business opportunities.
“As a regulator, we are ready to set up an equal, level playing field for all telecom operators in Sri Lanka, and we will consider SLT matter seriously,” TRCSL sources meanwhile told Finance Today.
Sri Lanka currently boasts 100% mobile penetration, with two dominant operators (Dialog and Mobitel) commanding 80% market share with extensive 4G infrastructure. There is a challenge for smaller operators to build competitive 4G and future 5G infrastructure and deliver a return on investment.
