History

Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) was established in 1980 as the state telecom operator. It was partly privatized through a public share offering in 2016, with the government keeping a majority stake.

Business model

BTC provides fixed-line, broadband, and mobile services, the latter under its beMobile brand, along with wholesale and enterprise connectivity.

Market position

BTC is Botswana's incumbent fixed-line operator and the third mobile operator behind Mascom and Orange Botswana.

Country impact

BTC owns much of Botswana's backbone network, and its 2016 share offering was one of the largest retail investment events in the country's history.
