BOCRA keeps close watch on mobile network operators

This follows the recent dismissal of an urgent application in which Mascom Wireless sought to challenge the directive from BOCRA ordering operators including Mascom, Orange Botswana and Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited (BTCL) to reduce, amongst other charges, off-net and on-net charges over a period of two years.

According to BOCRA deputy director of corporate communications, Aaron Nyelesi, the first reduction effected on June 1, 2017 and the final reduction will take effect on June 1, 2018.
