Consortium brings cheaper internet connectivity to Botswana

Abari Communications, a majority citizen-owned consortium said its bandwidth deal is five times bigger than the current capacity in the country. The company said the increased capacity will result in high speed internet and a drastic reduction in costs.

"The prices will gradually go down because we use an open system model, whereby we offer the same price to all internet service operators," Abari Communications managing director, Neo Nwako said after the launch of the deal on Tuesday.
