Stakeholders Forum on Further Liberalisation of Botswana Telecommunications Industry 31 January 2005 to 2 February 2005

Grand Palm Hotel, Gaborone

Telecommunications liberalisation can bring the most modern products and services into Botswana's economy now and at lower costs, United States Ambassador to Botswana Joseph Huggins has said.

Huggins was speaking during a three-day stakeholder forum on further liberalisation of the telecommunication market, at opening of a three day workshop Gaborone at the Grand Plam Hotel

Global companies must access information and communicate with their clients and associates in real which could only be made possible by liberalising telecommunications. Liberalisation of telecommunications said Huggins could also result in cheaper international calls.
