I am not sure to what aspect of Sri Lanka you would attribute this to?
It could be politics. It could be a show of corporate competition, but both premier cable networks (sorry 1 cable, 1 dish) have been suspended by the government.
In a typical case of each company tipping the authorities on licensing issues of the other (ala tit for tat), poor old me is left without access to international TV :)
Comet Cable you lucky *tards you just wait, I am sure they'll get you too, and then every single cable vendor will be gone.
Technorati : cable, dish, sri lanka
