(Lanka-e-News -27.Dec.2015, 11.30PM) The internet chain had rapidly grown in Sri Lanka (SL) Consequently , unlike the other media , the Lanka e news media website that stands out from others breaking new ground , is possessed of opportunities to function beyond the bounds of operations of the other ordinary media .But because of Sri Lanka Telecom’s ( SLT) inordinate greed for money , this corporation that provides ISP (internet access), is seeking to restrict the customers using internet facilities without citing any reason.
In this connection , the SLT which is the only Corporation that is providing the wire line internet links has to be specially focused upon.
Ordinarily ,after the domestic user up 40 Gigabytes under the Web Home package , the speed drops almost to unusable level .If the SLT which itself says the SL information technology is making headway in SL , is of the view that 40 GB is enough for a home , even in the year 2015 , nothing can be more ridiculous and ludicrous.
Countries in Asia like Singapore , Thailand and India have taken measures to provide internet facilities to suit the current time and trends.
Internet is not a resource like gas or petroleum which are diminishing ,hence the decision to charge more commensurate with additional usage is clearly a money grabbing exercise. Therefore the SLT that earned a revenue of Rs. 38.95 billion in 2014 , having no capacity to provide an internet package to suit the present time is not acceptable by any stretch of imagination.
Several years ago ,it was possible to obtain an unlimited internet package from the SLT, but by now that has been eliminated. The SLT that was able to provide an unlimited internet package several years ago , but having no capacity to provide that by 2015 is more a fiction and less a fact , and anyone can understand that.
It is because an individual who felled trees on the sly leapt like a frog in the well into the seat of the chairman of the SLT , the Institution which should be progressing is hurtling down a precipice.
After the president’s younger brother took over that chairman post , during the whole of last year , there was neither any relief nor any new services offered to the people by that Institution. Simply bragging WiFi zones would be made available Island wide is purposeless .On the contrary , the internet service ought to be proivided at much more lower rates and at higher speed. If he cannot carry on his duties efficiently , it is best for him to hand over that chairman post to another, and get back to felling trees carrying the axe , the area where his skills can be demonstrated best ,without ‘killing’ the SLT through slow strangulation.
The Telecom, it is learnt is moving to impose temporary bans on internet usage of those who criticize the SLT via the face book. We are therefore intently following and watching this. Lanka e news is aware that because LeN is castigating the SLT ( justifiably of course), the news website has been banned within the SLT. This type of low bred conduct and base actions are natural when an individual who chopped trees illicitly has hopped audaciously into the chairman seat of a lofty Institution .
