Nov 07, 2007 (LBO) – The Sri Lankan government Wednesday said it would extend a 10 percent tax on mobile phones to wireless CDMA phones in an effort to raise revenue. . The move was announced by President Mahinda Rajapakse, who is also finance minister, when he presented the government's budget for 2008 in parliament.

The imposition of the levy on wireless phones is expected to raise 2,200 million rupees.

Telcos adopted CDMA technology to provide fixed phones because of the delays and difficulties involved in laying wires.
