Dem Beitrag den die römisch-katholische Kirche und die in der EKD zusammengefassten evangelischen Landeskirchen zum kulturellen Leben in Deutschland leisten, wird in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit nur eine periphere Rolle zugebilligt. 2. Die Kirchen gehören ausweislich ihrer finanziellen Aufwendungen zu den zentralen kulturpolitischen Akteuren Deutschlands. Der Korridor, der durch die unsichere Datenlage geöffnet wird, erstreckt sich zwischen € 3,500 Mia und € 4,800 Mia per annum. Der derzeit wahrscheinliche Wert liegt bei € 4,396 Mia. Eine detaillierte Erfassung aller Ebenen mit einem einheitlichen Schlüssel wird hiermit angeregt. 3. Die Kirchen setzen vermutlich etwa 20% ihrer Kirchensteuern und Vermögenserlöse für ihre kulturellen Aktivitäten ein. 4. Die Kirchen liegen mit ihren Aufwendungen für Kultur im Vergleich der öffentlichen Ebenen auf einem der vorderen Plätze, mindestens gleichauf mit den Gemeinden und Ländern.

  • 3.4 Sri Lanka Telecommunications
    3.4 Sri Lanka Telecommunications In Sri Lanka, telecommunication network coverage is provided by both government and private companies.. In the year 1996, the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka was established to regulate the functioning of this field and maintain the competitiveness. There exists 4 fixed broadband service providers and 4 mobile broadband service providers, but there are only 6 companies all together in which 2 companies provide both services. However with time the number of landlines in use have been decreasing and use of mobile phones have been increasing. Finding SIM cards in Sri Lanka is relatively easy than other countries. At the airport itself, after baggage claiming, there are booths to get a sim card. Mobitel is the most used network used by foreigners. However, those booths only offer tourist packages which could be pricier than usual. In Colombo there are many Agent outlets that provide a sim very easily in which he vendor would configure the network from their phone itself. In general, the coverage is good in Sri Lanka and getting a sim card is also convenient. SLT telephone connections are available as Fibre, Mega line and 4G/LTE. Mega line and Fibre are the most reliable and superior quality wireline telephone connections which enables you to enjoy uninterrupted Voice, Broadband and PEO TV. 4G/LTE provide both Voice & Broadband services. All three connections offer a range of value-added services. Revolutionizing internet usage across the country whilst expanding Sri Lanka’s broadband capacity, SLT Broadband proudly introduced fastest internet, taking the speeds up to as much as 1 Gbps.
