The Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (Private) Limited (ICTA) is a company owned by the Government of Sri Lanka. ICTA was established to develop the economy of Sri Lanka through information and communication technologies (ICT). To this end, it works to improve both the technological capacity of the country, such as building infrastructure, and the readiness of its people, through education and human resources. It is also active in developing regulations around the use of technology and disseminating information worldwide about Sri Lankan ICT.

On 28 July 2015, Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) signed an agreement with Google Vice President and Project Leader on GoogleX Project Loon, to launch the technology on a mass scale.[1] As a result, Sri Lanka will be the second country in the world to get full coverage of internet using LTE island-wide with WiFi receptions.
