1 Regional Integration in ICT in SADC: An Overview Brian Goulden Centre on Regulation & Competition University of Manchester Botswana ICT Liberalisation Workshop Gaborone 31 January 2 February 2005
2 Background SADC Protocol on Transport, Communications & Meteorology (1996) (chapter 10) Model telecommunications policy & law (1998) Telecommunications regulators Association of Southern Africa (TRASA) (1997) Major collaborative efforts by SADC Member States supported internationally USAID, AusAID, SIDA, CIDA, DFID, CTO
3 SADC Protocol Focused on: Split of policy, regulatory and service-delivery responsibilities & mechanisms; Liberalisation, competition & private sector participation; Regional harmonisation on policies & processes: strategic issues eg standards, interconnection, tariff principles, human resource development, regional collaboration; Strategic objective: to make SADC a more attractive direct investment environment by providing consistent, transparent, effective policies & regulation with ultimate aim of significantly improving quality & levels of access to ICT services for all
4 Model Policy & Law Policy defined the environment: Ministry = broad national ICT policy Regulator = policy implementation, regulatory processes & management of sector Operators = service-delivery Sought to strengthen credibility of regulator through separation of powers, transparent & consistent regulation; Policy encouraged greater liberalisation of service-delivery private sector involvement, inc privatisation of incumbent fixed-line operators Law drafted to enable policies to be implemented Policy & Law developed using international best practice as a foundation for adaptation, significant regional consultation across all stakeholder constituencies government, operators, consumers Policy & law endorsed at SADC ministerial level
5 TRASA Regional collaboration & guidelines / templates on issues such as: Interconnection principles (guidelines & draft agreement) Tariff principles Technical standards Regulatory accounting principles & guidelines Administrative procedures guidelines Consumer affairs Performance monitoring Human resource development strategies Has created human capital, Aim: consistency of principles & approach this is attractive to regional investors provides certainty, reduces costs, provides incentive to deliver services Has become an internationally accepted model for collaboration West Africa, COMESA, Arab Region, SE Asia
6 Botswana s situation Telecommunications policy in advance of other SADC countries (1996) BTA quickly became effective BTA a key enabler of SADC s harmonisation efforts through leadership & support of TRASA Burgeoning ICT market far outstripped the initial forecasts when first policy formulated BUT may have lost opportunities because of pace of liberalisation (off-shore banking, call-centres, service industries)
7 Conclusion Burgeoning ICT market in SADC Botswana no different Botswana has been a leader in regional integration through BTA Rapid pace of change in ICT sector is unpredictable Greater liberalisation will facilitate growth in sector, growth will provide platform for better quality / range of services, better services should attract higher level of investment (in ICT & other sectors which are ICT dependent) Principles in The SADC Protocol still form basis for developing the ICT sector
