Effective Regulation The Botswana Telecommunications Authority (BTA) and The Telecommunications Regulators’ Association of Southern Africa (TRASA) Effective regulation Case study: Botswana A Case Study on Effective Regulation in Sub-Saharan Africa and Regional Cooperation International Telecommunication Union This case study was conducted by Susan Schorr and Nancy Sundberg of the ITU/BDT. The report is based on field research undertaken in Gaborone, Botswana from 9-12 July 2001, as well as reports and articles identified in footnotes. A list of persons and organizations met during the field research is contained in Annex B. The field study enabled us to meet and interview the regulatory agency as well as government and industry. This study is concerned chiefly with institutional considerations, the structure, the operation, the financing and the legitimacy in the marketplace of the Botswana Telecommunications Authority (BTA), the regulatory agency. This study is intended to be useful not only to the regulatory authorities and the corresponding arms of government, but also to everyone concerned with the telecommunication market. The authors wish to express their sincere appreciation to BTA for supporting this study, and wish particularly to thank Mr M.C. Lekaukau, Mr T. B. Koontse and Mr M. O. Tamasiga for their invaluable assistance, as well as everyone in the public and private sectors alike that gave us their time. Without their support a report such as this could not have been prepared. The authors also wish to express their sincere appreciation to Mr B. Goulden for his invaluable information on the founding of the Telecommunication Regulators’ Association of Southern Africa (TRASA). The views expressed are those of the authors and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of the ITU, its members, or the Government of Botswana. This case study is one of five case studies on Effective Regulation.

Furthermore, we would like to extend our gratitude to Kent and Mattias Nilsson for their continuous support and help, especially when things got a bit rough. We are also very grateful for the help we got from Quincy Moloi and Shadrack Shaduf Baaitse, who were indispensable to us and helped us make new contacts and experiences in Botswana. We would like to thank our tutor, Richard Nakamura, for helping us apply for MFS and supporting us throughout our research.

Furthermore, the Internet expansion in Botswana is on a rise and this creates an opportunity for online finance to expand. A larger extent of adoption of online financial services has been proven to aid SMEs in their development as well as being fruitful for the society as a whole; still the adoption of online financial services among Botswana SMEs is limited.

(October. 2017), PP 44-58 www.iosrjournals.org Adoption of mMoney and mHealth in a developing country: an assessment of the network and Security challenges in Botswana Panacea N Makele, Dr.Srinath Doss PG Scholar, Department of Post Graduate Studies in Computing, Botho University, Botswana Head of Department, Faculty of Computing, Botho University, Botswana Corresponding Author: Panacea N Makele Abstract: Mobile Health (mHealth) and Mobile Money (mMoney) are leading-edge applications that can assist better people’s lives and bridge the digital gap. They are contemporary examples of Advanced Networking being put to everyday use, and demand the same considerations in relation to confidentiality, integrity and availability that are at the heart of all other applications of advanced networking infrastructure. mHealth is a way to help ease pressure on the health systems around the world. mMoney also known as branchless banking is another way of making life easier for people in Botswana and around the world. Branchless banking assists customers by saving them the trouble of going to access money from an ATM machine or having to go to a bank. This research paper explores the security and networking challenges that affect the successful adoption of mMoney and mHealth. The research methods used in this paper consist of a wide review of existing literature review and primary data collected. The data was collected using surveys, namely questionnaires and interviews. Users of mHealth and mMoney were given questionnaires to answer and were interviewed.

That was the voice of a high school freshman. He had me on the phone because his father had just taken away his computer. His offense? Cracking into my Internet account. The boy had hoped to impress me with how "kewl" he was. But before I realized he had gotten in, a sysadmin at my ISP had spotted the kid's harmless explorations and had alerted the parents. Now the boy wanted my help in getting back on line. I told the kid that I sympathized with his father. What if the sysadmin and I had been major grouches? This kid could have wound up in juvenile detention. Now I don't agree with putting harmless hackers in jail, and I would never have testified against him.
