Moreover, the country has some added benefits in developing its ICT industry, like favorable macro-economic policies and a business culture open to international investors and partners. In addition, Sri Lankan telecom industry, constituted by fixed and Wireless Local Loop (WLL) operators, and mobile and public phone operators, is the most liberal in South Asia.
