The Southern Africa Regional Telecommunications Restructuring (RTR)
Program is a major sector development initiative of the Southern
African Transport and Communications Commission (SATCC) and is funded
by USAID.

Working closely with the governments and telcos of the Southern Africa
Development Community (SADC), the RTR Program provides management and
technical education, assistance with the resolution of policy and
regulatory issues and technical assistance in support of national
sector restructuring programs.  The RTR Program also seeks to increase
linkages between the U.S. telecommunications community and that of
Southern Africa through the dissemination of information on sector
developments and emerging business opportunities in the region.

The RTR Program has just unveiled a new site on the WWW fully
dedicated to telecommunications in Southern Africa.  The site,
"http://www.info.usaid.gov/rtr", contains a wide range of information,
including:

summaries of the activities of the RTR Program;

profiles of the telecom sector in each SADC country, as well as
political and economic background information;

statistics on network coverage, performance and telecommunications
financials;

license and equipment tender notices;

a bulletin board discussion group;

articles and report on issues of importance to telecom sector
development in Southern Africa;

extensive links to other telecom related sites on the web.

We hope you will bookmark this site and be a regular contributor to
our discussion group.  Please forward this message to any other
telecom or development related lists of which you are a member.

Note-- this site is designed for individuals using Netscape v1.2 or
