Hello all,
There are two things that draws my attention from the article besides the
effervescence of a potential new ISP:
1. What kind of « télé-surveillance », « télémétrie » and « télé-compteur »
- i.e. what kind of data is being recorded, by whom and why? Did I miss a
memo?
2. They already have fibre and they seemed to have been able to invest in
such without any major apparent impact on their budget while Orange keeps
telling us « la fibre sa, cout cher » or as a former ICT minister once said
« pa cout 1 sou 1 cass sa »; and we are all too well aware of the stark
difference in financial positions between MT and CEB. Which is which?
As for the potential effervescence of the potential ISP, I will believe it
when I see it, until then it is serves only as « effet d'annonce » and we
are yet to know of quality and pricing. If Mauritians were able to live off
such « effets d'annonces », we'd be by far the most advanced civilisation
known to man (Cyber-island, food hub, medical hub, education hub,
corruption free etc etc); but alas such is not the case. They promise and
promise while lepep admirab pardonner ek serrer em ceinture, ad-nauseam.
Regards,
Yusuf Satar
