The Botswana Telecommunications Authority has launched the second phase of the rural telecoms development project, Mmegi Online reports.
This part of the Nteletsa project aims to provide voice, data and internet services in 197 villages in the Chobe, Ghantsi, Kgalagadi, Central, Kgatleng, the North West and Kweneng Districts.
The project started in 1999 with the objective to extend communications infrastructure and services to all parts of the country. In the first phase, BTC was the sole company rolling out infrastructure but for this second phase Mascom and the Kuto Lamworld Telnet consortium have also been awarded contracts.
The first areas to be connected were Tuli Block, Barolong, Tswapong, Ngwaketse, Kweneng, the Southern and the North East.
