From then on, the sector experienced fundamental changes with the restructuring and partial privatization of the state-owned incumbent operator; permitting market entry in the mobile telephony market; competition in the fixed wireless local loop (WLL) segment of the fixed market; and the establishment of a five-member regulatory commission with its own fund and with relatively more workable independence than a typical government department in Sri Lanka. -
