I think at this stage sri lanka should first think of getting its internet backbone problem.As we all know Sri lanka's ADSL network is unstable and the backbone is too small to occupy the user groups. After that the telco's should work on implementing Wifi hotspots in public places.Most of people in Sri Lanka still don't know anything about Wifi and its advantages. It is very important to have public awareness projects. Also the most important aspect is the security,it is a main concern today. I'm sure as long as a certain wireless network policy is drawn up, some sort of security can be established.Of course "100%" secure networks don't exist but you can take precautions to prevent bad things from happening.
