The above is gossip. It is not possible to
verify whether what you said is true.

It is better to rely on public information so
that anyone can verify whether the information is
true. There is an message from Shelly at
http://lists.elandnews.com/archive/mauritius/internet-users/2015/10/3797.html
in which she asked the Chairperson of the ICT
Advisory Council to provide some
information. Given that the Chairperson did not
provide any information, it is likely that the
persons on that Advisory Council, excluding one
of them, are not doing any research.

I have attended a few government-sponsored
workshops where people talk about the
internet. There wasn't any WiFi access available at any of those events.

During an interview, Bruno Mettling, directeur
des ressources humaines, Orange, was asked the
following question (
http://www.lexpress.mu/article/269997/bruno-mettling-directeur-ressources-humaines-cest-normal-que-mauritius-telecom-prenne
): "La connexion Internet dans votre hôtel
est-elle aussi paradisiaque ?" Mr Mettling gave
an answer which was unrelated to the
question. The reporter asked another question:
"Ça vous désolerait-il de savoir que Michael
Porter, le gourou du management et du leadership,
s’est plaint de la lenteur de la connexion à
Maurice? C’est la première, sinon la seule, chose dont il s’est plaint".

What is the use of providing information if the information cannot be verified?

S. Moonesamy
