Botswana Internet Exchange

In the year 2005, in the month of July, the establishment of Botswana Internet Exchange took place by eight Internet Service Providers. The establishment of the Botswana Internet Exchange allowed the process of voluntarily getting interconnection of Internet networks. This is done for the reason of exchanging traffic between the customers of the different networks.

The establishment of the Botswana Internet Exchange is a commendable project for the country. For the development of the Internet services in Botswana this step proved to be of great importance.

The Internet Exchange in Botswana would result in the practice of Internet on a more regular basis in the country and it would also develop the service and the expansion of the local content in Botswana. The maim aim behind the launch was to improve the local web traffic of Botswana.

According to the secretary of the Internet Service Providers Association, the Botswana Internet Exchange (BINX) would certainly aid the development of the country in the field of Information Communication Technology. The development of the Botswana Internet Exchange would also lend a supporting hand in introducing the digital segregation between the already developed and the developing countries. Another positive point is that the different websites of the country would be able to communicate among each other with more efficiency.
