The Internet has taken off in Botswana, with the major centres now enjoying local access. An advanced digital telecommunications network and an optical fibre transmission system provide an excellent infrastructure for developing connectivity. More and more businesses are taking advantage of the web and launching web sites, with the country's buoyant tourist industry benefiting in particular. English is Botswana's official language.
