Bharti Airtel Lanka Pvt LTD starts their mobile network services in Sri Lanka in early 2009 with massive marketing campaign. Even before they start operations, rumors were spread among general public saying Airtel is a satellite based mobile service provider, their services will be cheapest and vice versa. Soon after they start operations there were long queues in Airtel arcades filled with people who are expecting their services. Sometimes those queues are longer to block roads and make huge traffic around city areas.
Airtel-Satellite story was a fake news from 2008. This never happened and only complaint Dialog raised to TRCSL is about Airtel's "unfair" pricing which made TRCSL to implement floor rates in 2010. Airtel challenged this in court but failed.
