The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) is in the process of formulating regulations to be imposed on news websites, it is learnt.
Chinese military intelligence specialists have reportedly been approached to formulate these firewalls. Sources from TRC said several Chinese specialists are to visit the country during the next few weeks for this purpose.
The TRC is to also make it compulsory for all news websites operating in the country to register with the Commission.
It is also planned to make news websites in the country to operate through an internet protocol address provided by the TRC. A similar system is followed by the Chinese government.
It is learnt that the first task assigned to the newly appointed Commissioner General of the TRC, Anusha Pelpita by the President is to handle the news websites in the country.
Meanwhile, the google search engine is to be blocked as well. A new advisory committee on internet services has reportedly been established for this purpose. Funds for the programme are to be taken from the Treasury on the basis of creating an internet super highway.
A former computer engineer at the TRC said that the main aim of the programme is for the government to gain control of news websites.
