Hello SM,

Thank you for the links SM. It is disappointing to know that the Wikipedia article is still outdated- I guess it is because Mauritius is so focused on the progress of the country that we forgot updating the basic information about the Internet in Mauritius. Why don't you update this Wikipedia article if you have the information SM?

Wikipedia records states that there were 'Internet Service Providers (ISPs): 4 (2008)' When we now have 19 registered ISPs licences. (https://www.icta.mu/telecommunications/licences.htm). Most people only know two ISPs and they are Orange and Emtel. How come we don't know about the other 17 ISPs ? How does a company get a license to become an ISP? Can an ISP provide Internet access to its employees only?


Kind regards,
Shelly
