2006 : A Year in Review - Comet Cable

The year 2006 has been a pretty ordinary year for the subscribers of Comet Cable. Even though they have not experienced any new significant addition of channels or technology they will be happy that they were not affected by the crisis that hit the cable television industry. The only major change that we can identify is the change in the layout of their website which took place recently.

Well at least for now they seem to be going as usual expect for the fact that this company is having a series of management and financial problems. In addition to a court case with the TRC regarding the allocation of frequencies (please refer post below) and the notice of withdrawal of license if they did not pay the due amount to the Southern Development Authority.

In 2007 we hope that Comet Cable the pioneer cable television company will be able to update their technology to digital since they will have massive competition from pay television companies such as CBNsat under Dialog Telekom and also SLT's pay television service in the next year. If the present management lack the funds to do it then they should sell the company to another and let Comet Cable improve.

Well that's all folks for this year since we are taking the weekend and January 1st 2007 off, so we will be back with you from January 2nd 2007. Please keep sending us your valuable emails and also updating this blog with your comments on the latest happenings regarding Comet Cable during the next few days while we are away and also throughout the New Year 2007. For a full review on all the events in the Sri Lankan television and radio media front please read the TV & Radio Sri Lanka Blog post called "2006 : A Year in Review".

We like to take this opportunity to wish all of our fellow Bloggers, the Staff and Management of Comet Cable specially Mr. Harold who was keeping in touch with us earlier but not anymore A Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year 2007

Please pay respect to the late admin of the Lanka Media Outlook. Ultimately he was not really responsible for trying to draw people away from this blog. Some other idiot did it.

Please forget all the bad things you have against him and bow to him in respect for providing a good source of information alongside TV & Radio Sri Lanka.
