Orange warns competitors over licence

The mobile phone company, which is currently neck-on-neck for a slice of the lucrative market with Mascom Botswana, recently became the second recipient of the service neutral licence or Public Telecommunications Operator (PTO) licence.
It joins fixed line monopoly, Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) that got its licence last month.

When receiving the licence, the youthful acting chief executive officer for Orange Botswana, Keabetswe Segole, said that it is an enabler of the company's initiative dubbed NExT - New Experience in Telecomms Strategy. Though he did not divulge more details about NExT Strategy, which is adopted by Orange worldwide, he said it will be a destination beyond mobile to broadband and fixed line.
