    What the right hand is giving, left hand is taking. Pray hard that they dont get some bright ideas to block web chatting avenues like Skype.

    Sri Lanka's calls charges are way expensive than the USA.
    Not very inviting for businesses.

    The increased cost of communication will make Sri Lankans products more uncompetitive in the international market further.

    Sri Lanka was a net exporter of spices, and now we are already an net importer.
