Regulatory data show that the Sri Lankan mobile market grew by approximately 6.1% during 2011, ending the year with 18.319mn subscribers. This was less than had been hoped for and appears to be due to a significant scaling down of the customer base reported by Airtel Srilanka, nominal growth at Etisalat Lanka and a possible reduction of the customer base reported by Hutchison Lanka. Although there seems to be a stronger push from the leading operators for postpaid and value-added services, the high cost of these offerings relative to the low-cost voice and SMS services, most Sri Lankans seem to favour, means that growing these new revenue streams will be difficult at best.
