1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Section 38 of the Communications Regulatory Authority Act of 2012, grants Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (the Authority or BOCRA) the mandate to maintain a Numbering Plan and other telecommunication numbering resources used in Botswana.

1.2 In fulfilling this statutory mandate, BOCRA is required to develop a National Numbering Plan (NNP) for the efficient use of the numbering resources of telecommunications services and ensure adherence to the plan regarding the allocations and assignments of the numbering resources to the service providers. To achieve this mandate BOCRA shall:

1.2.1 Ensure that the National Numbering Plan, where applicable, will ensure that it is compatible with relevant Numbering Plan Standards and Industry Guidelines, International Agreements, Standards and Recommendations.

1.2.2 Manage the National Numbering Plan Allocations and Assignments to ensure that there are enough numbers available to meet current and reasonably anticipated future demands of services.

1.2.3 Ensure that there is equity, efficiency and transparency in the allocation and primary assignment of numbers, and that costs to service providers and consumers are objectively justified.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of the National Numbering Plan is to ensure transparent, non-discriminatory and efficient use of numbers. This practice assures service providers and end-users of excellent provision and consumption of telecommunications services.

3. BACKGROUND

3.1 BOCRA adopts the principles and procedures, in the form of administration of Numbering Policies, Numbering Plan Code of Conduct and Numbering Database that govern the way numbering resources are allocated and assigned. These administrative mechanisms promote fair and efficient allocation, assignment and use of numbering resources. This shall provide BOCRA and the Service Providers with a management platform and the end users with specific identification of their respective services in relation to the numbering plan.

7. CONCLUSION

7.1 The National Numbering Plan is a way of ensuring that:

7.1.1 The limited numbering resources are used prudently and efficiently and this allows for effective number management. This exercise enables customers to have access to services using numbers without undue expense and inconvenience, and to ensure that all service providers have the numbering resources they need to compete in the rapidly growing telecommunications marketplace with the associated proliferation of new telecommunications technologies and services; and

7.1.2 There is equity, efficiency, and transparency in the allocation of numbers as this is done objectively within the confines of the CRA Act of 2012.
