We have a large latency and increasing bandwidth. At the Linux kernel
level, you can see work sponsored by Google to make networking
"faster". It's very important , as it gives the user a better
experience.

I strongly believe that Mauritius and Africa could have benefitted by
participating by testing and giving feedback on how the changes made
by US/EU developers to the Linux networking stack behave in our
context. As a bonus, it would be nice to be able to tweak the changes
for Mauritius ;)

I see a market for android-based devices like heaters, watches that
could have been developed in Mauritius. The advantage is that it would
make IoT devices cheaper and more accessible to the average Mauritian
with an internet connection at home.
