The Hon. Eranga Weeraratne
Hon. Eranga Weeraratne noted that telecommunications towers are now also operated by independent tower companies, not only by telecom operators. He argued that licensed infrastructure-sharing should ensure all operators can access towers at equal cost, preventing larger operators from gaining unfair advantages and supporting competition and affordable services.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Presiding Member.
¶ 02 Regarding telecom: towers are not only by operators now. Independent tower companies exist. Infrastructure must be shareable to prevent large operators from unfair advantages. Infrastructure-sharing with separate tower companies lets all operators access the same towers at equal cost, under licence, improving competition and enabling affordable services.
