0->5gb -- 7.2mbps
5gb->6gb -- 512kbps (normal ADSL)
6GB -> unlimted --> 52kbps

is there any unlimited HSDPA connection in mobitel... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Agree on part of this. The package is not Rs.1700. Monthly rental is Rs.2990.
    They provide it for Rs.1500 for Uni Students.
    Though they reduce the speed with the download usage, it's nice to experience the 7.2Mbps speed for Rs.3000. (If actually 7.2Mbps works)
    And this is not the cheapest. Mobitel provide HSPDA from Rs.400. But not unlimited (yet) ;)

    But on GSM which this thread talking about, Mobitel got the best tariffs.
    Just look at the latest call and GPRS rates and other features. http://www.mobitel.lk/prepaid/tariff.html

    Plz correct me if anything wrong.

    When doing business there are 5 main pressures for any organisation mate. Competitive pressure, Power of suppliers, power of buyers, New entrants and substitute products.

    So from Dialog's point of view Airtel is a new market entrant. So they should know and they should have strategies to fight with it. Eventually it will be a competitor. Then again Dialog should have strategies in place.

    From Airtel's perspective I don't think they'll be able to reduce their costs that much due to the power of the suppliers. There's a limit which you can reduce the price of a product while gaining a profit!

    If Airtel provides much lower costs then I'm sure Dialog will adopt to the same structure with the same infrastructure. Because if Airtel can do it, then Dialog can do it too.

    Low cost strategies don't provide any sustainable competitive advantage. :)

    And about the loss of DialogTV: Just wait and see I guess that IPTV will also face a loss in the future. Because our backbone infrastructure is not too strong and there's no way of implementing a proper fibre optic infrastructure with the current security situation in our country.

    Furthermore, DialogTV has been in operaion for just 9 months. Due to the high initial investments it has to be a loss definitely. You can't expect profit within 1 or 2 years after a massive investment. Eventually they will earn profit. That's the nature of 'business'

    If Airtel launches its operations in Sri Lanka, Dialog should use their 'customer loyalty' to gain the competitive advantage. That's the only viable method I can see. Or else the next one is acquiring Airtel if it becomes a bitter rival. It will cost a huge amount of money. But then Dialog can have all the profit in the long run.
    But from an analyst's perspective I would like to see more and more competitors in the market which will diminish or rather reduce the monopoly!
