Leading telecom operator Bharti Airtel will launch operations in Sri Lanka in December, a top official announced on Monday.
“We will roll out the services next month as all formalities are done and issues relating to inter-connectivity have been sorted out,” Bharti Enterprises vice-chairman and managing director Rajan Mittal told reporters in New Delhi.
The telecom giant had been facing problems of inter-connection, with local carriers not willing to give inter-connections to the company.

Hi I am a Telecom Engineer. Presently I am working for Huawei-Airtel Project in Srilanka as a Project Engineer. I am an employee of ICOMM International Lanka (Pvt)Ltd.I expect that airtel will satisfy all Srilankan’s Customers and surely it will become NO 1 service provider in srilanka.
Best wishes for you

I hope dey ll begin der commercial operations in december. Since da inter connection issue is sorted out, we can xpect der launch. Sometimes da launch can be in January 2009 also. Since rumors spredin about der price plans, one thing fr sure….dey ll battle with vry low prices. I think Airtel will focus on bringin der full product portfolio (like digital TV, fixed connetions, broadband internet etc.) gradually 2 Sri Lankan market in da comin years.

I rememebr that guy from competitor name of Mr Wijesooriya or i cant remeber his exact name. he spel out and never believes air tell will come to market and challenege it is merly a words in a mouth.
air tell is big pit nothing can acheieve here, inter-conection fee is a false there is no any bareier for this type of issues, predicting that they have no foot in sri lanka i asked where is Mr Wijesooriya and his view,
ALL THE BEST FOR AIR TELL

Great. We are awaiting a good service from the company as it has already earned a good reputation throughout the globe. Hope to change my SIM as and when the airtel comes up, as current mobile operators dont give a proper service for the money paid by us. I too worked in the telco industry and realize the pressure its getting from Airtel’s news in coming in to the market. As you can see most of the massive mobile operators in Sri Lanka are facing many many cost issues and are loosing its expected profit drastically. So i guess its a good start. I recently went to the Airtel’s office at Narahenpita to see whether they accept bookings for the same number. But still :(. Is there any way we could book a SIM from now it self.
Mail me if so kaluatcolombo@gmail.com

Thanks for the space again , these days this is highly compettitive market in the asians , since SMS and other IT delealing highly spred in the asians . Soi it is not much easy , I will have some business plan as a way to developed Asian cultures with normes and values , so some companies are using the word be lankan and buy lankans , but only warding every thing except commecials he or she or their family using foreign things , so you may have to use the techniques fited to that , onething already with you use the 7 P market promortional mix with nature friedly environemnt loving way , then every body will come and see the benifit , thses days every body need change security for their love one , so come with efortable manner . dont put any hidden cost , some are cahrging for seconds but final bill no diferance , go with genuin way that is the way to win one he will bring 10 more it is the way .
If you follow the way and as a Marketing adciser I can come with you all to work in you company if you see or looking for plaes ask me I am their to help you , when compettion their finaly customer will get benifit.
Thanks
See you soon in Sri Lanka not like dairy company other who came to do business

AIRTEL
TRUE OR FAKE??????????????????????
They have to wait for a long time to capture the srilankan mobile market.Even Dialog telekom became as a NO 01 mobile service provider after 10yrs from they started.I don’t believe that its is easy to convince the srilankan people in to them.They have to wait for a along time.
K.Rajendran
I really happy about Airtel launched in Sri Lanka, and send me you packges and prices. I hope that you will give us good service. my heartiest congratulation for you company
Prasad Edirisinghe
I hope that Airtell will give us an outstanding service. We will really like to get your fast and fascinating service.I always hope that you will give us the optimistic. please never frustrate us ourselves like other communication services.This is my congratulations from the bottom of my heart.
Niranjan
I don’t think Airtel has a 3.5G capability.(Even in India)So how would we hope they will introduce HSDPA in Sri Lanka? Their broadband capacity is 2MB D.Link speed (max.)in India (as they said in their website).They powered their internet by DSL tecnology; not WiMax.(WiMax is the newest & fastest method to transmit microwave all over the parts of the island.That’s why LankaBell also used WiMax tecnology.Indeed Wimax is 4G!)How would they launch 3.5G?In meanwhile Dialog has evaluating HSPA+ capability!(If you want more info about ‘HSPA+’ mail tome nirarat@gmail.com)They will Introduce it near future!
Anyway(however broadband)in the GSM arena Airtel wiil success.According to the gossips they will carry lowest rates in Sri Lanka.So I congratulate them. Thnx for coming SL GSM industry.
