I have attended a few "national" conferences which were
internet-related. I didn't see anyone from Emtel giving a
presentation. I agree that it would be a positive step if there is
engagement with Mauritius Telecom and Emtel to get those two
companies on board. I doubt that the other ISPs currently have the
customer base or anything innovative to offer.

I was not in favour of static IPv6 prefixes for residential users as
there are privacy implications. I have not been following the
discussions about cellular networks lately; I am aware of the Android
issue though. The considerations for cellular networks are different
from the ones for FTTH.

Ok. :-)

According to web site, 27% of its visitors are from outside Mauritius.

I would choose www.facebook.com. The latency can be between 75 ms to
318 ms or more.
