When this type of tariff is  there, they can compete with big operators.”The move would help improve competition among telecom operators as  new subscribers would have no incentives in choosing a particular  network, analysts said.     Sri Lanka has five mobile telephone network operators, including  listed Dialog Axiata and Mobitel Sri Lanka, the mobile arm of listed  fixed line phone operator Sri Lankan Telecom.     Dialog and Mobitel account for around two-third of the mobile phone  market. The other three mobile telephone network operators are Airtel,  the local arm of India’s biggest telecom carrier Bharti Airtel Ltd,  Etisalat, a subsidiary of Dubai-based Emirates Telecommunication Corp,  and Hutchison, owned by Hutchison Asia Telecom, Reuters reports.   Adaderana</blockquote>
