Hmmm......

Hmmm... Looks like some of you are convinced that CBNsat is having connections with the LTTE including some claims made that the government has the proof. Our problem is why is the proof hidden from the public, they might as well spill the beans. Unless the bean can is empty of course.

CBNsat has made a big investment in Sri Lanka and according to the news that we get a large amount of this money came from HSBC. CBNsat has sister companies in the form of EPSI computers a long standing business in Sri Lanka. They also have connections with a company in Hong Kong and so coming up with this money is not a big thing.

Now let's not get hasty since the people such as Hulla and Abey wanted this to happen so that they can be the Kings. We are playing into their hands when we form opinions like this. Like several bloggers have mentioned before "CBNSat is innocent until proven guilty".

Unfortunately we have politicians who serve themselves and their friends more than the country. If CBNsat is guilty of any offense then the authorities have had ample time to prove it and since they have been unable to prove it, we can safely say that they are innocent. At the court cases there has been no proper allegation against CBNsat and the allegations keep changing. If CBNsat was guilty they will not keep fighting this case the way that they have done at the moment. They would have closed shop and fled the country.

There is no doubt that CBNsat is innocent and maybe Hulla and Abey are fabricating the so called required evidence. CBNsat has given connections to Tsunami affected schools, sponsored the Sri Lankan contigent to the Davis Cup and also the Chilles advertising awards. They have done things that the other cable operators have been unable to do and this is how Sri Lanka rewards them.

CBNsat will be able to start negotiations with prospective partners only when the licenses are issued and as per the information we are receiving no one has been granted this license. If you have any information about any granted licenses, please update us.

It would be great to see CBNsat resuming transmissions with the present management since they worked hard to introduce this technology to this country and they should be rewarded for their endeavour. If that is not possible CBNsat should explore possibilties to sell or tie up with another company and resume operations. However this should be done soon and Dialog seems to the best option at the moment since they are also looking at DTH.

On the 6th it will be five months since CBNsat was shutdown and we are still a month away from the next Supreme Court hearing. Please keep us updated on any news regarding CBNSat as the days progress.

Its very sad for the county & for the industry, the people are making decisions because the judicial system in our country is really corrupted. If any company has any links with banned organizations the authorities must act on the particular issues rather then shooting in the dark. In previous occasions Anchor, Seylan also in the same category. They claimed dealing with these brands your are contributing towards LTTE. But down the line the above companies over come the situation. They never start war against the authorities, but over came the situation. But CBN did was very negative they start sending emails to boost about Buddhism under their signatures, claimed they have 80% of their employees were singhalees……now the time that CBN should take business decisions they should know by this time whether they will get the MOD clearance or not. Not to forget that CBN was in full control they were negotiating with all pay channels for the exclusive transmission in Srilanka with their financial power. There are enough Tamils operating their business in the country up to now they seem to have no problems. A million dollar company having latest technology having the head office in Colombo north it self created a big issue according to under head line of Menna thawa koti chandrika rupavahini sevavak – kotahenai. ( Lanka paper last December).

Keep on going guys!

The missing evidence to nail CBNSat(which never existed) is slowly but surely being crafted on this blog by a bunch of idiots.

So keep up the fantastic job of attcking each other and creating evidence. So when you are all finished, the govnt will take the ideas from the blog and BOOOOM!!!
There goes CBNSat.

PS.For those who havent figured out already, I am being very sarcastic.

"INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"
I dont care where and how it is achieved. Just bring the evidence to the Supreme COurt.

I dont believe any of you guys so called "proof" or "claims". I repeat, BRING IT TO THE SUPREME COURT.
That has not happened yet, though.

cableguy said...

Looks like major judgments are being passed on this blog, but the supreme court cannot.
How ironic!!

Jokiya

How much is COMET asking as an advance.

According to some people here LTTE have invested more than 10 billion ruppees in CBNSat (it must be true becuase jvp's "lanka" newspaper said so. they're the only patriots in this country. either you're with us or you're with LTTE like Goarge Bush said)

May be LTTE invested 10 billion and got cbnsat to hide claymore bombs inside decoders so they could blow them using a sattelite command when people watch tv

Guys just stop this crap. We are arguing about this after 5 months of closure. This is nonsence. All of us are here in this blog due to one reason. The only reason is to get CBN back on air and safeguard our 17000+ investment because 17000+ cannot be forgotten for most of us because we know what effort we made to earn it.

Mahela- Is Sanath Jayasuriya going to buy CBNsat,Damn good we will have all the sports channel and is is confirmed? Yes yes Sanath has done so much for mother lanka and presently he has a comet connection.

Very good that he is going digital

He was putiing comments in almost every hour!

Wake up guys stop talking bullshit.

riky said...

I feel Sanju-1975 has some substance in this issue,Actualy what is this"Asian Broadban Network"? You have to think out of the box Panadura - Looser,What if this guys are realy connected and why did the media entirely back out of the issue,Even the Sunday Leader is silent now.

To clarify a few points made by me so far,

1. I have not seen (or heard) any evidence that lead to a possible LTTE-CBNsat connection. Therefore i do not believe CBNsat had any LTTE connection. Prove it or at least give solid facts, i'll believe it.

2. I believe CBNsat was shut down due to a conspiracy lead by Lakshman Hulugalle and BAC
Abeywardena. (if any of their agents are watching this blog, they can kiss my ass)

3. I have very little hope on CBNsat returning coz the vested interests are still at large. But this is srilanka and SL is unpredictable.
