  • Asia Pacific to Add 45 Million Pay TV Subscribers
    Asia Pacific to add 45 million pay TV subscribers The Asia Pacific pay TV sector is the most vibrant in the world, with subscribers up by 45 million and revenues up by $1.40 billion over the next five years. Pay TV penetration will stay at around 69%. Asia Pacific pay TV subscribers by country (mil) 800.0 700.0 600.0 500.0 400.0 300.0 200.0 100.0 0.0 2019 2020 2025 Others 70.5 72.3 80.9 Japan 17.4 17.6 17.7 Indonesia 11.2 13.5 18.5 S Korea 20.4 20.3 20.2 India 158.8 161.1 183.1 China 353.4 357.2 356.0 Source: Digital TV Research Ltd China and India together will account for 80% of the region’s 676 million pay TV subscribers by 2025. India will add 24 million pay TV subscribers over the next five years. However, China will peak in 2021 with a slow decline thereafter. OTT penetration and competition will remain much higher in China than in India. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Much of this subscriber growth is down to the number of TV households increasing by 65 million between 2019 and 2025 to 978 million as populations rise and disposable income climbs. The region’s population is 4 billion – more than half of the world’s total.” For more information on the Asia Pacific OTT TV and Video Forecasts report, please contact: Simon Murray, [email protected], Tel: +44 20 8248 5051 Asia Pacific Pay TV Forecasts Table of Contents Published in March 2020, this 198-page PDF, PowerPoint and excel report comes in three parts: • Outlook: Forecasts for 22 countries in a 52-page PowerPoint document full of charts, graphs and bullet points; • Excel workbook covering each year from 2010 to 2025 for 22 countries by household penetration, by pay TV subscribers, by pay TV revenues and by major operator.

We believe SLTL’s future revenue growth will stem No. of issued shares (m) 1,805 from its FT segment, driven by the shift towards increasing data usage from Market cap (USDm) 511 voice, and the company’s focus on migrating its fixed voice customer base to Enterprise value (USDm) 605 broadband and pay-TV services, as both these segments have low penetration Free float (%) 5.5% in Sri Lanka.

  • 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.

  • Dialog Axiata” and Recommended Strategic Approaches for Implementation
    International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics Vol. 4, No. 10, October, 2017 ISSN 2383-2126 (Online) © Authors, All Rights Reserved www.ijmae.com Strategic Management Failures of “Dialog Axiata” and Recommended Strategic Approaches for Implementation Sakunthala Thilini Alles1 Cardiff Metropolitan University UK, Westminster International College, Subang Jaya, Malaysia Rashad Yazdanifard Cardiff Metropolitan University UK, Westminster International College, Subang Jaya, Malaysia Abstract The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the current service quality and the strategies of Dialog Axiata PLC in Sri Lanka, which have been implemented to achieve their organizational objectives. This research study has analyzed audit findings, survey results, observational research and content analysis in order to identify the current strategic position of the company and environmental analysis of the telecommunication industry. In addition, several strategic management models have employed to identify the company’s potential to maintain long term strategic competitiveness over competitors within the industry. Furthermore, this paper has discussed about the strategic issues, which the company had to face because of the lack of strategic planning and consideration. According to the findings and results, there are several recommendations, which have been mentioned at the end of analysis in order to enhance the quality of the service, which would enable the Dialog Axiata to be competitive in the telecommunication industry further. The paper suggests that the company should reposition its product lines, invest more on R&D capabilities, and review its Human Resource Management practises in order to gain a significant position in the market. Keywords: Telecommunication, Dialog Axiata, Strategic Competitiveness, Strategic Planning, Competitive Advantage.
