DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c5a5e5/sri_lanka_intern) has announced the addition of the "Sri Lanka - Internet and the Broadband Market" report to their offering.
Until 1999, there were only six Internet Service Providers in Sri Lanka. The number has jumped quickly to over 20 and has included a number of innovative operators. As this report indicates, Internet and other forms of data services have been starting to take off in the country, but coverage and accessibility was limited. Internet user penetration was estimated at around 10% by early 2010. The sophistication of the services available generally remained low. The early moves to offer broadband Internet in the country met with limited success and it seemed that it would be some time before there is a substantial broadband market. There had been, however, some promising signs of growth in broadband services from 2007/08 onwards. Of particular interest was the upsurge in activity in the wireless broadband segment of the market, although this had not yet translated into significant subscriber numbers. Overall broadband penetration had reached just 1% by early 2010. As well as providing an overview of Sri Lanka's Internet sector, this report takes a brief look at some of the service providers.
