BTC is a state-owned telecommunications company established in 1980 to develop, operate, and manage Botswana's national and international networks. Based in Gaborone, it provides fixed-line, mobile, and data services and functions as an international gateway. The government holds 100% equity in BTC, making it a parastatal in the country’s telecom sector. A 1996 amendment liberalised the market, ending BTC's monopoly and introducing indirect competition through Mascom Wireless and Vista Communications (now Orange), alongside a regulatory framework that expanded opportunities in customer premises equipment and value-added services.

BTC serves a broad customer base within Botswana, delivering essential connectivity and related services. The company operates in the telecommunications industry and positions itself as a fixed and mobile network operator with international reach, navigating a market reshaped by regulatory oversight and competition in ancillary services. As a longstanding provider, BTC manages and develops infrastructure to meet the connectivity needs of individuals and businesses in the region.
