Free speech (be it biased/unbiased), in its true essence is what internet blogging is truly about.<BR/><BR/>You have to be ready to face the music of brining up the topic of DISHTV in Sri Lanka. I have personally posted several blogs explaining the pros & cons of each system, and the fact that its all upto the customer (tvaddict, more appropriately) to make the final decision, with the inherent risks.<BR/><BR/>There are some emotional bloggers who tend to favor one company over the other. There's nothing you can do about that. Seasoned bloggers know, getting personal on a blog is just a waste of time & energy.<BR/><BR/>When posting generic reports on DTH entrants, try to maintain an unbiased wording. Your first post, frankly (IMHO) did not convey neutrality.<BR/><BR/>Until proved illegal by local authorities, any DTH equipment/sub-dealer may move freely into any country. <BR/><BR/>I had Comet for 7 years, have Dialog, and will soon have DISHTV. I have accepted the risks, and will go forward with my money.<BR/><BR/>A final word - Let the end user decide what is illegal or not. As an Admin - post with an essence of neutrality. My humble opinion, no disrespect intended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26479479.post-79704980391511980902007-03-16T06:01:00.000+05:302007-03-16T06:01:00.000+05:30If satnet gives the DISHTV packages at the indian ...If satnet gives the DISHTV packages at the indian prices then all of us will go for Dishtv.

Please try to understand Dialog is a one of the best companies in this country. That does not result what ever projects they undertake will be a success.

Maybe our piracy indicators can match those as well :D<BR/><BR/>Waht the Anon poster really means to say is that any operation in Sri Lanka will never have the same economies of scale that an Indian operation will experience. That will be prohibitive to a capital intensive thing like automotives but not to an industry like DTH service provision. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the prices in SL will always be higher than India. But sooner or later we will hv customized content - even if it's at a premium. And to ensure that the local players are given a gamely chance to go that far, the govt may ban the use of Indian DTH services (hey, I'm just speculating based on previous examples) inside SL. Or those service providers will hv to come here pay taxes and provide services based on a local contract.<BR/><BR/>One point where everyone seems to be wrong is that DTV is going to be the sole player of SL DTH arena. Nope there are bigger companies than Dialog in here and once the initial break-in is successful (Largely thanks to CBNSat & Mr. Muhunthan as well as DTV) other players will move in. SLT/Mobitel is already geared up if I'm not mistaken. LBN also has good value proposition if they can accumulate enough investment to go island-wide.<BR/><BR/>And looking as how DTV has failed in many of it's service aspects - it would be very much competitive as when other 'legal' players move in to Sri Lankan pay-tv and DTH services market.Vishkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02954437475811875768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26479479.post-646601411529700622007-03-14T13:46:00.000+05:302007-03-14T13:46:00.000+05:30"it is our view that as the market grows in Sri La..."it is our view that as the market grows in Sri Lanka then the content providers will take notice of Sri Lanka and cater to the local market"<BR/><BR/>considering the population in sri lanka and the number of ppl capable of buying pay TV, the above statement will be a miracle. India is a huge market, that's why they have a feed dedicated for them. If the above point is valid, see how many Japanese vehicles (more specifically TOYOTA) brought in to Sri Lanka, that number is very huge compared to what India imports from Japan. But India managed to setup a TOYOTA company to cater their needs. Will this ever happen in Sri lanka even though they import more TOYOTA vehicles than india ???<BR/><BR/>These are just imaginations. What will happen is DTV not let any other DTH service provider to settle in sri lanka simply coz they need to dominate the pay tv business in Sri Lanka. <BR/><BR/>I agree with the point that sri lankan currency will fly over to India without the sri lankan economy gaining anything from buying Indian connections. But imagine how many ppl will bring down stuff from other countries when they travel abroad, do they every declare all the stuff @ customs...the answer is NO.<BR/><BR/>Piracy cannot be eliminated from sri lanka untill such time they will be a Developped country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
