The Hon. Eranga Weeraratne
Eranga Weeraratne clarified that telecom tower construction by private companies is governed by licences issued by the TRC, not by tendered contracts. He stated that two companies already hold such licences, another application is in process, and additional firms may apply, but only licensed entities can build telecom towers privately.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, the mistake in your claim is this: it is a licence, not a tendered contract. Licences are not issued via a tender process. The TRC issues licences to private companies to install towers. Two companies already hold licences, and another is in process. More firms can obtain licences. Only licensed firms can build telecom towers privately.
