 Botswana - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Botswana is one of Africa's wealthiest nations with a thriving economy mainly based on diamond mining and tourism. Mobile penetration has passed the 80% mark which is almost three times the continent's average. A nationwide fibre backbone network supports a wide range of services, and the landlocked country's access to international bandwidth is being improved. Broadband services are available in the form of ADSL and various wireless technologies, including a city-wide WiMAX network in the capital Gaborone, launched in mid-2008. The government is in the process of privatising the national telco BTC which, through a new service-neutral licence, is now also enabled to compete in the mobile sector.
