- Notes
- Read from the Telecommunications table of CBSL's Monthly Economic Indicators; the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka compiles the figures. Each issue gives the latest quarter and the same quarter a year earlier; every reading is kept as a vintage. The 2018 issues print this table with labels and figures on different lines, and are not read.
