Transcription

History

Multivision launched its service, Comet Cable, in December 1998. The company was primarily owned by Vancouver-based Rystar Communications (90%) with a 10% minority stake held by the Sri Lankan Government. The government stake enabled Comet to operate nationwide.[1]

After its bankruptcy, the parent company was taken over by Sky Media Network, who owned an unsuccessful digital terrestrial platform in 2010.[2]

Services

The service had about 20 channels during its period of operation. The service could be received with a monthly subscription using a MMDS Antenna and Decoder Unit.

Comet Cable in its existence was also known for its frequent technical issues. Frequent causes of complain were the lack of certain cricket tournaments broadcast on sports channels and lack of censorship on BBC World, prompting one subscriber to disconnect.[3]
