Dear Mr Saccaram,

I am doing some research about the Information and Communication
Technologies Authority (ICTA) licences. According to the Mauritius
Internet Exchange Point (MIXP) web site the Internet Exchange Point
is registered to OTAM. I could not find any licence issued to OTAM
or MIXP at https://www.icta.mu/telecommunications/licences.htm Is a
company required to have a licence from Information and Communication
Technologies Authority to operate an Internet Exchange Point?

There are locations such as hotels [1][2] and restaurants which
provide free WiFi access. The ICTA web site does not list any
licence issued to any companies operating hotels or restaurants. Is
such a company required to have a licence from the Information and
Communication Technologies Authority to provide free WiFi access?

There are several companies in Mauritius offering electronic commerce
services. Is such a company required to have a licence from the
Information and Communication Technologies Authority for electronic commerce?

Services such as Skype and WhatsApp are commonly used in
Mauritius. The ICTA web site does not list any licence for Internet
Telephony Service. Has the Information and Communication
Technologies Authority performed any study to find out whether local
businesses, excluding those with an ILD licence, are at disadvantage
compared to, for example, WhatsApp because of Information and
Communication Technologies Authority licensing requirements?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
