Revenues had fallen despite efforts to get into banking  services and sell pre-paid phone cards. Letters per inhabitant fell to 17 in 2010 from 21 in 2009, according to data released by the Central Bank. Sri Lanka's telecom use has been rising in recent years, and in 2010,  telephones exceeded the population. Availability of phones and email use  can reduce the demand for letters. Sri Lanka's telecom sector started to expand after a state monopoly was  broken in the mid 1990s and people were allowed to supply their own  phones by building privately owned networks. Analysts say private courier services are also competing with the state  service in fast business mail offering same day delivery in city areas.                                                                  There was no data available for the courier sector. The Central Bank said the state service also launched an express courier  service for Sri Lanka's capital Colombo and suburbs to deliver items in  four hours in 2010. In developed nations, internet based retailing has led to a surge in parcel delivery.          LBO               </blockquote>
