Post war battles

It seems there is a tension between president and the Genaral. Hope it will be solved ASAP. Wish there won't be any re-enactment of Kobbakaduwa scenario.

PS.
I'm afraid the most unexpected thing occured. God bless Sri Lanka.

In my point of view there are 3 things that should have never happened in recent Sri Lankan history

1. Kobbakaduwa assassination
2. Millennium city incidence
3. This issue

PS.

What is happening to the country? Is everyone insane?

Is it the end?

I hear occasional fire crackers going on Colombo. I look out from the window of my cubicle. Everywhere in the Colombo (it is same with everywhere in Sri Lanka; I hope) is decorated with national flags. People are rejoicing. Crowds on the roads. The guy in the next cubicle is so anxious for news. He is surfing the internet continuously get a glimpse of the current situation. yes we get news flashes via smses. But we all need to see pictures. we all need to see the picture of Prabhkaran's dead body.

Driving lessons in Sri Lanka

One can see lot of learners everywhere in Sri Lanka. Seems they are profitable. But is their training of quality?

Await...

Dialog : betraying Sri Lankan Engineers

Dialog's engineering side is completely filled by Sri Lankan talented engineers. Poor Sri Lankans have taught these engineers. Also they work day and night to keep the services up and running. Dialog does not give a formal training to them either. Dialog gains all from their knowledge. Even Dialog does not provide sponsorships for University events. Eventually when Dialog is making losses due to the stupidity of higher management these engineers are fired with almost nothing.

Hans, you will never thrive like this. Once the telco giant, dialog will soon fall on its knees in front of competitors.

Dialog HSDPA : Data speed sucks

Dialog has launched HSDPA dongle intended as a broadband service. But the reality is its data speed sucks. Most of the times you can see even though the signal strength is OK the data speed is 0. On top of this they charge a monthly rental for the service.

According to FUP data speed should be reduced after we exceed 5GB. But the reality is data speed is low all the time.

Shame on you dialog. Shame on you Hans. You just loot Sri Lankans for Malaysia.

Downfall of Dialog Telekom

Well we see once the most successful (luckiest) businessman in Sri Lanka in hot waters now. It is a shame that Dr. Hansa is desperate. He is doing many things to survive now.
1. Reducing staff
2. Reducing office buildings and cramping the staff together

But he does not do the need of the hour, understanding what he (or his snr management team) did wrong.
1. Investing on Broadband and DTV and not promoting them
2. Spending a huge amount on call centre. Call centre crews have a high turnover. Some leave even before they finish the training
3. Not recognizing the true front end of the business. It is not the charming sexy sales girl in the counter, but the engineering crew. Nobody buys a sim just because there is a cute customer care girl, people buy because the service is good
4. High level of bureaucracy and red tape

Earlier dialog thrived as they had the largest coverage. Therefore they could charge a premium from customers. But technology can be matched, so it happened. Then dialog started the price war by reducing it tariffs to celebrate 4million customers. It was closely matched by competitors. Hence started the downfall of dialog. With low income, how can dialog afford to maintain its high costs. Its CEO draws a salary of more than 70 lakhs.
