WINDHOEK – Botswana-based Kometsi Telecommunications and Namibian-based Demshi Investment Holdings have agreed to enter into a partnership for the establishment of a telecommunications business that is ultimately expected to lead to the establishment of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) or similar business in Botswana.
By signing the recent Letter of Intent, both parties indicated their mutual commitment to enter into a partnership and jointly setting up and launching the telecommunications business. “This Letter of Intent therefore sets out the terms and conditions upon which the partnership between Kometsi Telecommunications and Demshi Investment Holdings Ltd shall be constituted,” reads a statement by Demshi. Kometsi Telecommunications, a private company registered in Botswana, has acquired a telecommunications license, which was awarded to Business Solutions Consultants in 2007 by the Botswana Telecommunications Authority.
