Government departments aside in my experience, Sri Lanka has long been an impressive early adopter of technology.  High up this list is fantastic 4G penetration almost anywhere you go – even out in the hilly sticks given that it is the main internet carrier.  5G rollout is also under way, and I expect to be at quite a pace.

Unfortunately this reliance on radio delivery often comes at an ugly price;  This collection of masts on Kynsey Road in Colombo carrying cellular and microwave arrays is one example.  Somehow I don\’t think it\’d get planning permission in the UK.
