By Duruthu Edirimuni
Dialog Telekom, the country’s most profitable company with a Rs.4.1 billion profit, is gearing to diversify into media related telecommunications such as mobile television.

“Broadcasting and communication technologies are areas that are merging and synergies in this field are a strong possibility,” Dialog Telekom Ltd. Chairman, Tan Sri Dato Mansoor told The Sunday Times FT, adding that the company will expand into other related areas soon.

“We are looking more at wireless options, because it is our forte in Sri Lanka. Our main growth area will be cellular and we will like to co-exist with Sri Lanka Telecom,” he emphasised, adding that broadband and mobile television are areas the company is pursuing in the near future.
