Botswana-based Kometsi Telecommunications and Namibian-based Demshi Investment Holdings have agreed a partnership that is ultimately expected to lead to the establishment of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) or similar business in Botswana, Newera reported. They have signed a letter of intent to enter a partnership and jointly set up and launch the telecommunications business.
Kometsi Telecommunications, a private company registered in Botswana, has acquired a telecommunications licence that was awarded to Business Solutions Consultants in 2007 by the Botswana Telecommunications Authority. Kometsi intends to launch mobile telecommunications services through an MVNO or any appropriate Botswana authority-approved model.
Demshi Investment is a private company registered in Namibia and is currently in the process of launching an MVNO in Namibia on the Telecom Namibia network. Demshi intends to roll out an MVNO or similar telecommunications regulator-approved business model in southern Africa, commencing with Botswana.
