Best HSPA Package in Sri Lanka

[kisanka_gr]

macho.. Dialog is a Public quoted company ( in CSE). but Airtel not like that. 100% profit to India. But from dialog's ownership nearly 30% holding by sri lankan and sri lankan companies.

kawuda Airtel gena katha kale, anika Airtel ewun kiyanne nene api lankawe kiyala. Dialog hatara wateta bera gahanawa api lankawe kiyala.

He he then, Why dialog promote it as a sri lankan company, No need to talk about airtel. They don't say anything in advertisement. is that wrong about 83% share holdered by Telecom Malaysia or not? Airtel has invest 200 Million RS to sri lanka.
Why dialog has a big lost and decrease share price? talk about it.

when u taking about 200 million investment of Airtel, Dialog gained 1 billion as the revenue. So no need to talk about the initial investment of dialog.

Share price decreased due the rights issue of the company. U have to refer the financial articles to know these details.

USS90m in 1995. ( before 14 years)

1995-1998 - total investment- USS300m (without the initial investment)

i think u can understand the value of Rupee and dollar in 1995 and 2009

When comparing to the decreasing value of Rupee to the US Dollar and the inflation rate, it was very big investment when comparing to the Airtel's initial investment in 2009 !!!

ok answer this, Why Sri Lanka Dialog credit rating downgraded, outlook cut

Mar 03, 2009 (LBO) - The 'AAA(lka)' rating on Sri Lanka's Dialog Telekom was cut by two notches to 'AA(lk)' Fitch Ratings, following price competition which is weakening margins and rising costs, Fitch Ratings said.
Fitch has also downgraded the long-term rating on Dialog's of 4.5 billion rupee cumulative redeemable preference shares by two notches to 'AA-(lka)' from 'AA+(lka)'.

The outlook has been cut to negative from stable.

Fitch said the downgrades reflected a deterioration in Dialog's credit profile due to continuing price competition and inflationary pressures on its cost structure.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) had fallen 41 percent over 2008.

Fitch said the rating factored in support from Dialog's 83.3 percent shareholder TM International Berhard, majority board representation and Dialog's association with TMI's brand, common creditors and associated reputation risk to TMI.

TMI had already deferred 2008 dividends, provided soft loans and an explicit corporate guarantee on debt.

"Fitch notes that TMI's support will continue to play an integral role in maintaining Dialog's ratings at the present level," the agency said.

"The ratings could be downgraded further if there is a negative change to TMI's intention or ability to extend support, or if there is a further material deterioration in Dialog's credit profile."

Dialog's rating of its outstanding redeemable preference shares reflected the subordinate nature of the instrument.

Though Dialog has started a group-wide cost cutting exercise, through which it expects to improve EBITDA margins in 2009, Fitch says the outlook cut reflects concerns that the firm's credit profile could further weaken due to price competition.

There was also uncertainty over the extent to which the company's planned cost rationalizing efforts will be successful.

Profitability as measured by EBITDA margin had fallen to 23% at the end of the 2008 financial year from 43 percent in 2007.

At the end of the 2008 financial year mobile operations accounted for 92 percent of Dialog's group revenue.

The growth of alternative revenue streams such as fixed wireless, pay TV and broadband have been stifled by inflationary pressures on disposable income and the resulting impact on market penetration and usage levels, as well as competition.

The group's debt maturities peak in 2009 with 18.8 billion rupees of debt up for repayment.

The debt includes 4.9 billion rupees in loans from TMI, on which Dialog is likely to benefit from some repayment flexibility, if required.

The company has indicated the availability of committed undrawn credit lines which cover its commercial debt maturities in 2009 while external financing is being sought to fund capital expenditure which is largely discretionary, Fitch said.

Dialog has also rationalised its capital expenditure for 2009, proportionately increasing investments with near-term returns such as building mobile network capacity and quality.

But Fitch expects Dialog to face some refinancing risk over the medium term driven by its continued negative free cash flow generation.

"However the agency takes comfort from Dialog's access to banks, which is underpinned by TMI's majority shareholding," Fitch said.

Well, Mobitel is the national service provider ne??? it's Sri Lankan... Unlike Dialog n Airtel...

 

[sanjcal]

i used dialog. its terrible. speed less than 500kb always and that also very unstable.
then change over to mobitel. its superb in speed.very stable and always more than 900kb. but compared to airtel its expensive. but cost wise mobitel is better than dialog.
dialog 3000 for 5GB
mobitel 2500 for 7 GB
dont mislead by their word "unlimited"
i had airtel experience twis. its better thab dialog in speed and signal strength. cost is very less..
so you can select. i feel it should be between mobitel and airtel.

true.. thing is airtel doesn't have enough coverage... but if u only use it at home n if u have good signal strength at home.. then ok... else, if u move around, mobitel is the best...

There is no connection between Dialog GSM (Telekom) and Their subsideries (Dialog Broadband and Dialog TV).. Because we are talking about best HSPA package.. so stick to the topic
