Botswana communications regulator consults on DTT licensing

The Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) has issued a consultation paper on its proposed licensing framework for digital terrestrial television. The licensing framework will be used to license and regulate services on digital platforms. In particular it covers digital terrestrial television broadcasting in order to meet the deadline for the digital switchover target of June 2015.

BOCRA has defined a Minimum Specification for Terrestrial Broadcast Set Top Box (Document DTT001 Rev. 1) available on the BOCRA website.

The public is invited to make comments on the proposals by January 23, 2015.
