I also like to have cheaper chargers. it doesn't means Airtel has to come here to compete with dialog. the competition is already here. competition always benefits customers.and remember that cheapest doesn't means best. Toyota,sony,nokia are some of the best brand names of the world. but not the best with price. even there are many brands with lower price rates they couldn't able to drop those brand reputation still.it's true that Dialog cannot maintain the same growth rate but that's the nature of business in a context like SL. here we just have 20 million of population and most probably 10 million for telecommunication market. so if u are expecting same growth rate for every year that wold not possible in sri lanka. Dialog reached 4 million mile stone in early 2008. now it has passed 4.3 so wait till the end of the year to check the growth. I'm not believing people wait without a connection to bye airtel connection.and i also heard that airtel has started their network testing. as the bottom line i don't trust on a huge revolution on mobile industry with the Airtel launch. It seems like everybody needs some kind of change on chargers (lower chargers). but the truth is now every operator is on their maximum optimizations with the tariffs. I cannot believe Airtel in going to start charity service here to serve SL people without a profit by giving more lower rates.even if they do it would be a temp solution. that's the truth reality.</blockquote>
