    Sir, this my view. Reportedly, the implementation of MNP would cost telecom operators a couple of millions US dollars, the cost of which would probably be borne by the .However, in Sri Lanka’s case, we have less than 15% of the total mobile subscriber population owning a post-paid mobile connections compared to huge prepaid mobile telephone density. Therefore, in my opinion implementation of MNP will not be cost-effective at the moment, stated many PLMN operators. I have my doubts about comments made by Mr. Rohan Fernando, the Group Chairman of SLT. This company SLT shall have persons appointed as members of the Chairman and Board of Directors of are fit and proper and have relevant knowledge, demonstrated experience and expertise in telecommunications and broadcasting, finance and accounting, law, economics, competition and consumer affairs functions. Unfortunately in Sri Lanka there is no cabinet Minister for Digital Technology , innovation , Telecommunications and ICT.
