There were only two businesses in that country,
one from Africa, which raised the prospect of an
internet shutdown as a problem. As for
Mauritius, have you seen any local company
commenting about the proposal or discussing about
the impact of an internet shutdown at that
point-of-presence? The local discussion is usually about servers and ISPs.

I am not sure about this. I usually avoid commenting about other RIRs.

There is also the following in the news article:
"Nous avons eu des réactions de la part de
certains fournisseurs mauriciens d'accès Internet
et la grosse majorité d'entre eux est d'accord avec cette démarche".
Who is going to step forward and oppose a shutdown?
