Sri Lanka, May 28 -- "The expansion of mobile phones and telecom networks enabled people to access the internet without much difficulty. It is very encouraging to see more and more people using telephones, both fixed and mobile, to transact business and to improve quality of their life. For the last three and a half to four years, not because I am Secretary to the President, but as a normal citizen, I haven't had to go to any service provider to pay my bills. I have done that from home.
That's the power of internet. In Sri Lanka of the 20 million people, you would be glad to hear that 18 million people own some kind of telephone which is a great thing that I see as a progress in development.
"Extensive use of telephones has encouraged Telcos to innovate and offer many applications, such as m-learning. Many of these the ICT Agency plans to do in the next few months. Many platforms and applications are being designed by developers to put on the mobile phones.
