LBN Shutdown - Three Months Completed

With today we believe that LBN has completed exactly three months since they were shut by authorities who said that they do not have a valid license. They find about this after several years. Talk about efficiency of state sector institutions.

Now that the MoD clearance has been issued we hope that the license will be issued on Tuesday 19th September WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY.

We are now receiving emails from bloggers in foreign countries regarding this cable tv shutdown which shows us that this news is now spreading internationally. This together with the present situation in sri lanka will cause a definite reduction in foreign investment.

We hope that the authorities will take necessary measures to stabilize the cable tv industry and issue immediate resolutions to these problems. It is now three months and if these companies shutdown it will add only to the ever increasing unemployment figures.

Please keep us updated on any news regarding LBN as the days progress.
